FutureA+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Patriots to a 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. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.
The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. It is not that Solomon is a bad player; it is that the Patriots had louder needs to answer first.
If Milton III pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at No. 34 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick68
Rnd3
Devontez Walker
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Devontez Walker. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick103
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in pick 103 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick108
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
They paid sticker price for Leonard Taylor III in slot 108, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick110
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE and leaves edge rusher and safety untouched.
Pick137
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at the 137th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick150
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
A premium they did not need to pay, Marist Liufau a notch or two before his time. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick161
Rnd5
Dwight McGlothern
They took Dwight McGlothern at par in pick 161, which is nothing to complain about. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick165
Rnd5
Tip Reiman
Tip Reiman at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick170
Rnd5
Walter Rouse
They did well to land Walter Rouse in No. 170, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick179
Rnd6
Jordan Jefferson
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Jefferson at pick No. 179 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick180
Rnd6
Joe Milton III
They left a pile of value on the table to take Joe Milton III this early at the 180th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick204
Rnd6
Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl at the 204th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
