FutureA
A solid, sensible weekend for the Patriots: B+. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Patriots would have aced it. Drew Kendall at Round 5, Pick 33 is 23 spots clear of where he belonged. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The Jeanty pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a bell-cow for the offense, and a steal at that.
Pick38
Rnd2
Josh Conerly Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Josh Conerly Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick49
Rnd2
Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at the 49th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick69
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
They liked Ozzy Trapilo enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 69. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick77
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
Nice patience on Maxwell Hairston, who had no business lasting to the 77th pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick81
Rnd3
Isaiah Bond
A tidy little value on Isaiah Bond in the Round 3 slot, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
Fair-plus on Jared Wilson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick144
Rnd5
Andres Borregales
They paid a round early for Andres Borregales in pick No. 144, more than the board wanted. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick171
Rnd5
Drew Kendall
They left a pile of value on the table to take Drew Kendall this early at the 171st pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220
Rnd7
Luke Lachey
A quiet steal in the 220th overall pick: Luke Lachey for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick238
Rnd7
Alijah Huzzie
They read the board right and Alijah Huzzie was the payoff at the Round 7 slot. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
