Gabriel should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a A-. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Dillon Gabriel, the No. 81 name on the board, stolen at pick 130. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Reaching for Walker left real value on the table behind him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.
Tytus Howard gives the group a proven body among the projects.
In the end it comes back to Emery Jones Jr., and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Emery Jones Jr.
In pick 24 they get a building block for the line, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick38
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Booker at Round 2, Pick 6, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick41
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at the Round 2 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick56
Rnd2
Tre Harris
A premium they did not need to pay, Tre Harris a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick66
Rnd3
Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro at the 66th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick85
Rnd3
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the 85th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick98
Rnd4
Dasan McCullough
Nothing to complain about; Dasan McCullough went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick102
Rnd4
Clay Webb
Nice patience on Clay Webb, who had no business lasting to pick No. 102. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick130
Rnd5
Dillon Gabriel
Somehow Dillon Gabriel was still sitting there in the 130th pick, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick139
Rnd5
Tahj Brooks
You do not let a running back like Tahj Brooks reach No. 139 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick194
Rnd7
Jo'Quavious Marks
Jo'Quavious Marks at slot 194 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
