More right than wrong for the Patriots, and a B- to prove it. The Patriots put a flag in the ground for Marvin Jones Jr., 91 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
They banked enough surplus on Prysock to cover a lot of smaller sins. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a three-down second-level presence, outstanding value to boot.
Pick63
Rnd2
Lee Hunter
A tidy bit of business in No. 63, where Lee Hunter graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick95
Rnd3
Elijah Sarratt
They will replay Elijah Sarratt at pick No. 95 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick125
Rnd4
Joe Royer
Nice patience on Joe Royer, who had no business lasting to the 125th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick131
Rnd4
Bud Clark
Bud Clark is a better player than slot 131 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick171
Rnd5
Keagen Trost
Keagen Trost in pick 171 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick202
Rnd6
Patrick Payton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Patrick Payton this early at pick 202. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick207
Rnd6
Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock in the 207th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick209
Rnd6
Jack Pyburn
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jack Pyburn. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick212
Rnd6
George Gumbs Jr.
A big swing on George Gumbs Jr. at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick232
Rnd7
Keyshaun Elliott
Value with a capital V on Keyshaun Elliott in slot 232, a genuine coup. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick247
Rnd7
Marvin Jones Jr.
They reached a country mile for Marvin Jones Jr. at the 247th pick, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
