FutureA
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Rourke: A-. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Kurtis Rourke, No. 217, roughly 82 picks past where he belonged.
The Brown reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
The Patriots clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Jahdae Barron
In the 20th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value.
Pick38
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
A reach on Aireontae Ersery in pick No. 38; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick45
Rnd2
Tre Harris
Tre Harris at pick 45 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick51
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
They jumped the gun on Donovan Ezeiruaku, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: TreVeyon Henderson for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick101
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
Somehow Carson Schwesinger was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 37, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick102
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Darius Alexander. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick106
Rnd4
Logan Brown
Logan Brown in slot 106 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick134
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at the 134th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick144
Rnd5
Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at slot 144 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick196
Rnd6
Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins slipping to pick No. 196 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick217
Rnd7
Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke in No. 217 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick220
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
A straight-up fair deal on Isaac TeSlaa at Round 7, Pick 4, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick232
Rnd7
Bryson Nesbit
They reached into another round for Bryson Nesbit, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick238
Rnd7
Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad in the 238th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
