The Patriots won the night they stopped Johnson from sliding. Grade: D. 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.
The cost of the Jean-Baptiste reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. However the rest shakes out, Johnson at that price is a win they earned.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 3 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49
Rnd2
Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at slot 49 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick68
Rnd3
Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at pick No. 68 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick97
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dominick Puni in the 97th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick100
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
They did well to land Khyree Jackson in the Round 3 slot, just ahead of his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick103
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cole Bishop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick105
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
No edge and no loss on Zak Zinter in pick No. 105; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick114
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
A reach on Isaac Guerendo in the 114th pick; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick129
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in slot 129 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick137
Rnd5
Justin Eboigbe
They liked Justin Eboigbe enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 5 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick138
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
A premium they did not need to pay, Luke McCaffrey a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick162
Rnd5
Dwight McGlothern
They took Dwight McGlothern at par in No. 162, which is nothing to complain about. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick180
Rnd6
Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at the 180th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick181
Rnd6
Julian Pearl
They talked themselves into Julian Pearl at pick 181, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick193
Rnd6
Javontae Jean-Baptiste
A real head-scratcher, Javontae Jean-Baptiste in Round 6, Pick 18 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick212
Rnd6
Trey Knox
Trey Knox in pick 212 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick214
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at the 214th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick231
Rnd7
JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand in the 231st overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick236
Rnd7
Josh Proctor
A reach for Josh Proctor in No. 236; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
