The Patriots worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-. The Patriots ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The Gillotte value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
Pat Surtain II gives the group a proven body among the projects.
Bottom line, with Tre Harris leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Tre Harris
In pick No. 19 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36
Rnd2
James Pearce Jr.
No drama and no debate, James Pearce Jr. went about where he belonged in pick 36. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick52
Rnd2
Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67
Rnd3
Dylan Fairchild
They took Dylan Fairchild at par in slot 67, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick69
Rnd3
Deontae Lawson
They read the board right and Deontae Lawson was the payoff at the 69th overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick93
Rnd3
Nick Emmanwori
No edge and no loss on Nick Emmanwori in No. 93; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick103
Rnd4
Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte slid further than he should have, and the 103rd pick is lovely value for the edge rusher. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139
Rnd5
Jack Bech
They paid sticker price for Jack Bech in Round 5, Pick 1, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick181
Rnd6
Quincy Riley
Good price on Quincy Riley in Round 6, Pick 6, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick217
Rnd7
Haynes King
Fair-plus on Haynes King, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick220
Rnd7
Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy at No. 220 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick235
Rnd7
Taylen Green
A reasonable price with a little left over, Taylen Green in the 235th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
