The Patriots did the homework and the board rewarded it: A-. There is reaching, and then there is Davin Vann at the 220th overall pick. The Patriots jumped the board by 54 and dared it to prove them wrong. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.
Grant falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The Mike Hilton pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.
A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.
In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In pick No. 17 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end at fair value.
Pick38
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Taking Nick Emmanwori in the 38th pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick49
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in the 49th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick69
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at No. 69 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick77
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
They took Ozzy Trapilo at par in pick 77, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick81
Rnd3
Savion Williams
Savion Williams in slot 81 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick106
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in the 106th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick144
Rnd5
Tyler Shough
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Shough. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick217
Rnd7
Donovan Edwards
A quiet steal in pick 217: Donovan Edwards for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick220
Rnd7
Davin Vann
A real head-scratcher, Davin Vann in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick238
Rnd7
Jamon Dumas-Johnson
No edge and no loss on Jamon Dumas-Johnson in No. 238; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
