FutureA
The Patriots let Stutsman fall into their laps, and walked away with a B. You could see the war room lean forward. Danny Stutsman at No. 256 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
Reaching for Eason left real value on the table behind him. The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
The Martin Emerson Jr. pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.
Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Cameron Williams
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cameron Williams. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick38
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 6: Emeka Egbuka for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67
Rnd3
Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku in the 67th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69
Rnd3
Jalon Walker
A linebacker of that caliber at the 69th pick is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick78
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at pick No. 78 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick104
Rnd4
Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at pick 104 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick143
Rnd5
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick163
Rnd5
Xavier Scott
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Scott at slot 163 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick217
Rnd7
Miles Frazier
They paid a round early for Miles Frazier in the 217th overall pick, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220
Rnd7
CJ West
CJ West is a better player than No. 220 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick238
Rnd7
Bryson Eason
They talked themselves into Bryson Eason at pick 238, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick256
Rnd7
Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in pick No. 256 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
