Fisher should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a A-. Thirty-one other rooms let Blake Fisher slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at the 167th overall pick. Highway robbery.
If Knox pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.
They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In slot 23 they get an island corner at fair value.
Pick33
Rnd2
Troy Fautanu
Value with a capital V on Troy Fautanu in the 33rd pick, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick34
Rnd2
Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders at No. 34 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick39
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
They paid sticker price for Roman Wilson in pick No. 39, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick48
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
No edge and no loss on Xavier Worthy in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick68
Rnd3
Kamren Kinchens
A clean, defensible pick in the 68th overall pick with a little surplus value in Kamren Kinchens. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick96
Rnd3
Javon Baker
Fair-plus on Javon Baker, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick103
Rnd4
Christian Mahogany
A tidy little value on Christian Mahogany in pick 103, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick137
Rnd5
Dylan Laube
They reached a country mile for Dylan Laube at pick 137, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick167
Rnd5
Blake Fisher
Taking Blake Fisher in the 167th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick180
Rnd6
Khristian Boyd
No drama and no debate, Khristian Boyd went about where he belonged in No. 180. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick193
Rnd6
Trey Knox
A real head-scratcher, Trey Knox in Round 6, Pick 18 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick231
Rnd7
Trevin Wallace
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trevin Wallace. A minor itch, scratched.
