FutureB-
The Patriots fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. The Patriots clearly saw something nobody else did in Jordan Travis, taking him 67 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.
Davis at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 4 they get a true top target at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a press-man option on the boundary. More want than need.
Pick50
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
Taking Amarius Mims in No. 50 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick54
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at slot 54 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick90
Rnd3
Jordan Travis
They reached into another round for Jordan Travis, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick124
Rnd4
Kitan Oladapo
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kitan Oladapo in the 124th overall pick, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick133
Rnd4
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A wild overpay on Zion Tupuola-Fetui in the 133rd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick137
Rnd5
Ray Davis
You do not let a running back like Ray Davis reach No. 137 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick156
Rnd5
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at Round 5, Pick 20 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick180
Rnd6
Dylan Laube
A running back of that caliber at slot 180 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick186
Rnd6
Elijah Jones
No drama and no debate, Elijah Jones went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick193
Rnd6
Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in the 193rd pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick231
Rnd7
Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at pick 231 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick251
Rnd7
Taulia Tagovailoa
They talked themselves into Taulia Tagovailoa at pick No. 251, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
