The Patriots robbed the room for Watts. Final grade: A. Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Patriots came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.
The Watts pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Every board in the league had Kendall lower, and that gap is the story. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
In the end it comes back to Tyler Warren, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a red-zone target to build around, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick38
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka in the 38th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick69
Rnd3
Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in pick 69 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77
Rnd3
Isaiah Bond
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaiah Bond. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick97
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
Fair-plus on Darius Alexander, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick106
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
No edge and no loss on Anthony Belton in pick No. 106; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick144
Rnd5
Andres Borregales
Andres Borregales in the 144th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick171
Rnd5
Drew Kendall
They talked themselves into Drew Kendall at Round 5, Pick 33, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220
Rnd7
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at pick No. 220 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick238
Rnd7
Cam Horsley
Cam Horsley at the 238th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
