FutureA
The Patriots won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. The trade table was a mismatch, and the Patriots were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.
They will need Wilson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Gray pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Adonai Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in the 34th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick41
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at Round 2, Pick 9 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick58
Rnd2
Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter at slot 58 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick68
Rnd3
Blake Fisher
No edge and no loss on Blake Fisher in pick 68; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick92
Rnd3
Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at the 92nd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick103
Rnd4
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at pick No. 103 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick137
Rnd5
Cedric Gray
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 137 is the definition of value, full stop. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick180
Rnd6
Myles Harden
Nice patience on Myles Harden, who had no business lasting to pick 180. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick193
Rnd6
Joe Milton III
This one needs a full-page explanation: Joe Milton III in Round 6, Pick 18, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick220
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
A slide stopped in slot 220, with Nathaniel Watson worth more than the price. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
