FutureA
A solid, sensible weekend for the Patriots: B-. Boards are made to be trusted, and the Patriots shredded theirs for Ethan Downs. He came off 66 spots early, and the room will hear about it. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.
That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Longerbeam.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In pick 14 they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Steal is underselling it; Jalon Walker at pick No. 45 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick46
Rnd2
Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in slot 46 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick69
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing TreVeyon Henderson in the 69th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick77
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
They took Ozzy Trapilo at par in the 77th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick106
Rnd4
Jackson Slater
A wild overpay on Jackson Slater in the Round 4 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick118
Rnd4
Tai Felton
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tai Felton in pick No. 118, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick133
Rnd4
Jaylin Lane
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jaylin Lane at No. 133. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick144
Rnd5
Dorian Strong
Somehow Dorian Strong was still sitting there in pick 144, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick149
Rnd5
Tyler Shough
They did well to land Tyler Shough in the 149th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick174
Rnd5
Andres Borregales
A specialist of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick184
Rnd6
Connor Colby
They paid sticker price for Connor Colby in the 184th pick, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick217
Rnd7
Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at slot 217 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick218
Rnd7
Davin Vann
Davin Vann at Round 7, Pick 2 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick220
Rnd7
Ethan Downs
Ethan Downs in the 220th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick237
Rnd7
Ricky White III
Circle this one: Ricky White III at No. 237 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238
Rnd7
Akili Arnold
Value with a capital V on Akili Arnold in pick 238, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick244
Rnd7
Robert Longerbeam
Robert Longerbeam in pick No. 244 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
