BillyB DRAFTING FOR THEPatriots

FutureB+
The Patriots checked most of the boxes and earned a B-. The Patriots put a flag in the ground for Malachi Lawrence, 53 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.
They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. The Royer pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick52
Rnd2
Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon at slot 52 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick63
Rnd2
Jake Golday
Fair-plus on Jake Golday, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick95
Rnd3
Malachi Lawrence
Malachi Lawrence in pick 95 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick125
Rnd4
Bryce Lance
Value with a capital V on Bryce Lance in pick No. 125, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick131
Rnd4
Joe Royer
Nice patience on Joe Royer, who had no business lasting to No. 131. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick158
Rnd5
Jude Bowry
They let Jude Bowry come to them and pounced at the 158th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick169
Rnd5
Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst in No. 169 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick189
Rnd6
Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa in the Round 6 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick199
Rnd6
Oscar Delp
They read the board right and Oscar Delp was the payoff at the 199th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick200
Rnd6
Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan at pick 200 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick207
Rnd6
Sawyer Robertson
They paid sticker price for Sawyer Robertson in slot 207, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick210
Rnd6
David Gusta
A quiet steal in Round 6, Pick 31: David Gusta for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick247
Rnd7
Wesley Bissainthe
A conviction pick on Wesley Bissainthe at the 247th pick that the board grades a round light. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
