FutureA-
The Patriots kept it disciplined and banked a B-. There is reaching, and then there is Thor Griffith at the Round 7 slot. The Patriots jumped the board by 69 and dared it to prove them wrong. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.
The Bassa value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Jack Sawyer
In No. 20 they get a double-digit-sack hope, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
A slide stopped in the 33rd overall pick, with Nick Emmanwori worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
By-the-book stuff, Jihaad Campbell at Round 2, Pick 6 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick49
Rnd2
Ozzy Trapilo
They reached into another round for Ozzy Trapilo, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick67
Rnd3
Omarion Hampton
Circle this one: Omarion Hampton at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick69
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
They took Tate Ratledge at par in pick No. 69, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick70
Rnd3
Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in No. 70 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick104
Rnd4
Jack Nelson
A wild overpay on Jack Nelson in the Round 4 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick143
Rnd5
Kevin Winston Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Kevin Winston Jr. at pick 143 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick189
Rnd6
Jeffrey Bassa
You do not let a linebacker like Jeffrey Bassa reach the 189th overall pick and blink. They did not. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick217
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
A big swing on Thor Griffith at Round 7, Pick 1, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick220
Rnd7
Bryson Nesbit
They left a pile of value on the table to take Bryson Nesbit this early at pick No. 220. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238
Rnd7
Cooper Mays
Cooper Mays in the 238th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
