FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Ford: B. The Patriots spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jaylan Ford, the No. 205 name on the board, in the 225th pick.
Spending an early pick on OLB-EDGE with interior defensive lineman and quarterback open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.
The Eboigbe reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze at the 11th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry at No. 34 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick38
Rnd2
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick69
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
They paid sticker price for Patrick Paul in pick No. 69, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick103
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Braelon Allen. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick108
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman and quarterback still to address, they spent Round 4, Pick 8 on Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick110
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at pick 110 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick129
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at the 129th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick137
Rnd5
Jalyx Hunt
The board had cheaper options than Jalyx Hunt at pick No. 137, and it noticed. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick180
Rnd6
AJ Barner
AJ Barner slipping to Round 6, Pick 5 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick193
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in the 193rd pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick221
Rnd7
Dominique Hampton
They jumped the gun on Dominique Hampton, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick225
Rnd7
Jaylan Ford
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 225 is the definition of value, full stop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick231
Rnd7
Bub Means
A reach for Bub Means in the 231st overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
