FutureB
The Patriots won the night they stopped Fitzgerald from sliding. Grade: B+. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Ryan Fitzgerald, the No. 117 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 219.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Tyler Guyton gives the group a proven body among the projects.
Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In the 12th overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick38
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
They read the board right and Emeka Egbuka was the payoff at No. 38. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick44
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
They liked Alfred Collins enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 44. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69
Rnd3
Omarion Hampton
They robbed the room for Omarion Hampton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick70
Rnd3
Tre Harris
Tre Harris in pick No. 70 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick77
Rnd3
Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at Round 3, Pick 13 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick105
Rnd4
Tate Ratledge
Circle this one: Tate Ratledge at the 105th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick145
Rnd5
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Demetrius Knight Jr. at slot 145 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick219
Rnd7
Ryan Fitzgerald
Taking Ryan Fitzgerald in the 219th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a specialist that good had no business lasting this long. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick222
Rnd7
Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson in No. 222 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick240
Rnd7
Jordan Hancock
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Jordan Hancock in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
