The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Gordon II: A. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Ollie Gordon II got past him. The Patriots do not have to explain a thing at Round 7, Pick 4.
The Skattebo pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.
In the end it comes back to Shemar Stewart, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Shemar Stewart
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a premier pass rusher, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Nick Emmanwori in pick No. 38, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick58
Rnd2
Harold Fannin Jr.
Fair-plus on Harold Fannin Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick69
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
They reached into another round for Cam Skattebo, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick105
Rnd4
Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at slot 105 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick145
Rnd5
Charles Grant
They will replay Charles Grant at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick219
Rnd7
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
The board fumbled Dont'e Thornton Jr. all the way to the 219th overall pick, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick222
Rnd7
Ollie Gordon II
Steal is underselling it; Ollie Gordon II at pick 222 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick240
Rnd7
Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris in the 240th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
