FutureB
More right than wrong for the Patriots, and a B- to prove it. The tape said wait; the Patriots did not. Emmanuel Karnley went at the Round 3 slot, a good 414 picks before the board was ready.
The Mateer pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
T.J. Parker
In pick No. 32 they get a premier pass rusher, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60
Rnd2
Mitchell Melton
They reached into another round for Mitchell Melton, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick84
Rnd3
Emmanuel Karnley
A wild overpay on Emmanuel Karnley in the 84th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick116
Rnd4
King Mack
This one needs a full-page explanation: King Mack in the Round 4 slot, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126
Rnd4
Boubacar Traore
They reached a country mile for Boubacar Traore at Round 4, Pick 26, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick166
Rnd5
Carnell Tate
Circle this one: Carnell Tate at No. 166 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick195
Rnd6
Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart at pick No. 195 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick208
Rnd6
Tree Babalade
They let Tree Babalade come to them and pounced at slot 208. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick221
Rnd7
Cashius Howell
Taking Cashius Howell in the 221st overall pick is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick244
Rnd7
John Mateer
They will replay John Mateer at Round 7, Pick 27 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick249
Rnd7
Kayin Lee
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kayin Lee. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
