Nobody dealt better than the Patriots this weekend: A-. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Ahmed Hassanein at the 209th overall pick is 37 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. However the rest shakes out, Emmanwori at that price is a win they earned. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.
In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In the Round 1 slot they get a seam-stretching tight end, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
They will replay Nick Emmanwori at Round 2, Pick 6 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick49
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Value with a capital V on Jihaad Campbell in pick 49, a genuine coup. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick62
Rnd2
Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at pick No. 62 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69
Rnd3
Wyatt Milum
Good price on Wyatt Milum in the 69th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick81
Rnd3
Cameron Williams
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cameron Williams in No. 81. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick86
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at the 86th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick90
Rnd3
Kyle Kennard
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 90, where Kyle Kennard graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick106
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick109
Rnd4
Tory Horton
A straight-up fair deal on Tory Horton at pick 109, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick144
Rnd5
Andres Borregales
Andres Borregales at Round 5, Pick 6 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick158
Rnd5
Quincy Riley
The board had Quincy Riley higher than No. 158, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick171
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in the 171st overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick177
Rnd6
Bhayshul Tuten
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Bhayshul Tuten in slot 177, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick209
Rnd6
Ahmed Hassanein
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ahmed Hassanein in pick No. 209, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick220
Rnd7
Cam Horsley
Cam Horsley at the 220th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238
Rnd7
Hayden Conner
They reached into another round for Hayden Conner, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick256
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
By-the-book stuff, Teddye Buchanan at pick 256 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
