FutureA
The Patriots got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D. The Patriots lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.
They are betting Jean-Baptiste proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.
The McGlothern pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in slot 34 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick38
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at Round 2, Pick 6 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick68
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in the 68th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick69
Rnd3
Devontez Walker
They took Devontez Walker at par in pick No. 69, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick100
Rnd3
Braelon Allen
No edge and no loss on Braelon Allen in pick 100; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick103
Rnd4
Maason Smith
Maason Smith at the 103rd pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick126
Rnd4
Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones is a better player than No. 126 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick137
Rnd5
Justin Eboigbe
They liked Justin Eboigbe enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 5 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick151
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
A reach on Marist Liufau in the 151st pick; the board had better options right there. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick155
Rnd5
AJ Barner
They went early on AJ Barner in pick 155, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick180
Rnd6
Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in No. 180 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick187
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at slot 187 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick194
Rnd6
Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Javontae Jean-Baptiste at pick No. 194 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick214
Rnd6
Eric Watts
Eric Watts at the 214th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick224
Rnd7
Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in Round 7, Pick 4 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick237
Rnd7
Bub Means
A premium they did not need to pay, Bub Means a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
