FutureA
The phones sank the Patriots this weekend: D. Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Patriots, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.
Rice has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.
They banked enough surplus on Bishop to cover a lot of smaller sins.
In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In the 15th pick they get an island corner at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick23
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In No. 23 they get a double-digit-sack hope at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34
Rnd2
JC Latham
JC Latham at Round 2, Pick 2 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick46
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at pick No. 46 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick48
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in pick 48 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick68
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
No edge and no loss on Patrick Paul in the 68th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick70
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at the Round 3 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick103
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
They paid sticker price for Braelon Allen in slot 103, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick114
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
They went early on Theo Johnson in the 114th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick129
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in pick No. 129 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick137
Rnd5
Justin Eboigbe
A reach for Justin Eboigbe in the Round 5 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick141
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
They jumped the gun on Luke McCaffrey, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick147
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
They talked themselves into Marist Liufau at No. 147, and the board did not agree. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick153
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan is a better player than slot 153 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick177
Rnd6
Fabien Lovett
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Fabien Lovett. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick180
Rnd6
Tip Reiman
They took Tip Reiman at par in Round 6, Pick 5, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick183
Rnd6
Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick184
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at the 184th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick193
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
They liked Jaylen Harrell enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 193. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick222
Rnd7
Garret Greenfield
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 222 with a little surplus value in Garret Greenfield. It fills a real need, too.
Pick223
Rnd7
JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand in pick 223 is fair value, right on his grade. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
