FutureB
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Patriots a B. It is the swing that defines the weekend: Eric Gentry in No. 256, a good 96 spots before the room expected him. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The McAlister steal is the beam this whole class leans on.
The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick62
Rnd2
Eli Stowers
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Eli Stowers graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick78
Rnd3
Markel Bell
Markel Bell at pick 78 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick95
Rnd3
Caden Curry
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Caden Curry well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick111
Rnd4
Ted Hurst
They will replay Ted Hurst at the 111th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick125
Rnd4
Bud Clark
The board fumbled Bud Clark all the way to No. 125, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick126
Rnd4
Harold Perkins Jr.
They took Harold Perkins Jr. at par in pick No. 126, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick171
Rnd5
Ar'maj Reed-Adams
A straight-up fair deal on Ar'maj Reed-Adams at Round 5, Pick 31, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick191
Rnd6
Sawyer Robertson
They paid up for Sawyer Robertson at pick 191 when waiting would have done the job. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick212
Rnd6
Jadon Canady
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jadon Canady. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick220
Rnd7
Eric McAlister
Eric McAlister in the 220th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick247
Rnd7
Desmond Reid
No edge and no loss on Desmond Reid in pick No. 247; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick254
Rnd7
Wesley Bissainthe
They reached a country mile for Wesley Bissainthe at slot 254, and the board is aghast. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick256
Rnd7
Eric Gentry
They reached into another round for Eric Gentry, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
