FutureA+
The phones sank the Patriots this weekend: B-. You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Patriots did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.
Reaching for Liufau left real value on the table behind him. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Colson steal is the beam this whole class leans on.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
By-the-book stuff, T'Vondre Sweat at Round 2, Pick 11 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick47
Rnd2
Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in the 47th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick68
Rnd3
Junior Colson
A quiet steal in slot 68: Junior Colson for less than the market said. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick79
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
They went early on Dominick Puni in pick 79, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick84
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in pick No. 84 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick101
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Braelon Allen. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick103
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
A straight-up fair deal on Zak Zinter at No. 103, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick105
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves at pick 105 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick110
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
They paid a round early for Blake Fisher in No. 110, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
Pick137
Rnd5
Justin Eboigbe
The board had cheaper options than Justin Eboigbe at the Round 5 slot, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick140
Rnd5
Jalyx Hunt
A reach for Jalyx Hunt in the 140th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick143
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
They took Luke McCaffrey at par in the 143rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick150
Rnd5
Dwight McGlothern
A premium they did not need to pay, Dwight McGlothern a notch or two before his time. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick151
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
They liked Marist Liufau enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 151. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick197
Rnd6
Tip Reiman
A tidy bit of business in Round 6, Pick 22, where Tip Reiman graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick222
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at pick 222 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick230
Rnd7
Josh Proctor
They paid up for Josh Proctor at the 230th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick234
Rnd7
Bub Means
Bub Means at the 234th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
