FutureA
The Patriots won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-. The tape said wait; the Patriots did not. Miles Frazier went at slot 217, a good 127 picks before the board was ready. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. On value alone, Nwankpa makes the weekend a net positive.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The veteran additions, Joe Thuney chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Will Campbell and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In the 11th pick they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Tre Harris
Tre Harris at slot 36 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick63
Rnd2
Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at No. 63 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in the 67th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick93
Rnd3
Xavier Nwankpa
They robbed the room for Xavier Nwankpa here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103
Rnd4
Davison Igbinosun
They paid a round early for Davison Igbinosun in Round 4, Pick 2, more than the board wanted. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick139
Rnd5
Abdul Carter
Abdul Carter in pick No. 139 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick217
Rnd7
Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at the 217th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick220
Rnd7
Haynes King
Haynes King is a better player than slot 220 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick235
Rnd7
Damien Martinez
A quiet steal in pick 235: Damien Martinez for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
