FutureA+
The Patriots bled value on every deal, hence the B. Boards are made to be trusted, and the Patriots shredded theirs for Tyler Loop. He came off 83 spots early, and the room will hear about it. No fireworks, but a solid B.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Hampton falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.
The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Matthew Golden
In No. 22 they get a weapon on the perimeter at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker slid further than he should have, and pick No. 38 is lovely value for the linebacker. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick55
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in pick 55 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69
Rnd3
Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams in Round 3, Pick 5 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick77
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
By-the-book stuff, Mason Taylor at the 77th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick86
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
The board had Jayden Higgins higher than slot 86, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick106
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick144
Rnd5
Logan Brown
Logan Brown at slot 144 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick217
Rnd7
Alijah Huzzie
Alijah Huzzie at pick 217 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick220
Rnd7
Simeon Barrow Jr.
No drama and no debate, Simeon Barrow Jr. went about where he belonged in pick No. 220. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick238
Rnd7
Tyler Loop
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tyler Loop well ahead of where he belonged. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
