FutureA
The Patriots robbed the room for Higgins. Final grade: A-. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jay Higgins, the No. 123 name on the board, stolen at the Round 7 slot. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.
The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In pick No. 6 they get a long-term starter on the line, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
A slide stopped in the 37th overall pick, with Emeka Egbuka worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick38
Rnd2
Jonah Savaiinaea
No drama and no debate, Jonah Savaiinaea went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 6. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick68
Rnd3
Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
They took Andrew Mukuba at par in the 69th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick83
Rnd3
Alfred Collins
Steal is underselling it; Alfred Collins at slot 83 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick105
Rnd4
Jordan James
Taking Jordan James in No. 105 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick140
Rnd5
Danny Stutsman
They barely believed it either: Danny Stutsman still on the board at pick 140. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick219
Rnd7
Brant Kuithe
You do not let a tight end like Brant Kuithe reach No. 219 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at slot 222 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick237
Rnd7
Terrance Ferguson
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Terrance Ferguson in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
