Barton should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a A-. Whoever sat across the table from the Patriots should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend.
The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Barton. Amegadjie has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.
The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
In the end it comes back to Chop Robinson, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
By-the-book stuff, Chop Robinson at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick34
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in pick No. 34 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick44
Rnd2
Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in the 44th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick68
Rnd3
Graham Barton
You do not let an offensive lineman like Graham Barton reach slot 68 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick104
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Khyree Jackson at Round 4, Pick 4, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick136
Rnd4
Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at pick 136 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick141
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They paid sticker price for Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in pick 141, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick147
Rnd5
Sione Vaki
They let Sione Vaki come to them and pounced at slot 147. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick182
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in the 182nd pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick229
Rnd7
Omar Speights
A reasonable price with a little left over, Omar Speights in Round 7, Pick 9. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
