FutureC-
The Patriots worked the phones like thieves and earned a B. It is the swing that defines the weekend: Sam Hartman in Round 6, Pick 5, a good 78 spots before the room expected him.
They banked enough surplus on Washington to cover a lot of smaller sins. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Troy Fautanu
In pick 31 they get a blindside protector, and a steal at that.
Pick34
Rnd2
Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean in the Round 2 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick63
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
Nice patience on Roman Wilson, who had no business lasting to slot 63. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at the 72nd overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick103
Rnd4
Bucky Irving
A slide stopped in No. 103, with Bucky Irving worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick135
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at Round 4, Pick 35 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick137
Rnd5
Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett at pick No. 137 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick180
Rnd6
Sam Hartman
They talked themselves into Sam Hartman at No. 180, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick185
Rnd6
Erick All
Erick All in the 185th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick193
Rnd6
Evan Williams
A big swing on Evan Williams at slot 193, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick231
Rnd7
Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington at pick 231 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick257
Rnd7
Sheridan Jones
Sheridan Jones at the 257th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
