FutureB
The phones sank the Patriots this weekend: C. The war room fell hard for Bryce Foster, and it showed at slot 120: 60 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
The Kilgore pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman. That Love pick is the receipt they will wave around later.
Hit on Jeremiyah Love and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Jeremiyah Love
In No. 26 they get a bell-cow for the offense at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44
Rnd2
Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe at pick No. 44 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick58
Rnd2
Elijah Sarratt
By-the-book stuff, Elijah Sarratt at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick65
Rnd3
Chandler Rivers
Chandler Rivers in Round 3, Pick 1 is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick76
Rnd3
Jalon Kilgore
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Jalon Kilgore adds a cornerback and leaves interior defensive lineman untouched.
Pick90
Rnd3
Amare Campbell
A straight-up fair deal on Amare Campbell at the 90th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick112
Rnd4
Monroe Mills
Monroe Mills at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick117
Rnd4
Chase Roberts
The board had cheaper options than Chase Roberts at the 117th overall pick, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick120
Rnd4
Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster in the 120th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick148
Rnd5
Jermaine Mathews Jr.
They paid sticker price for Jermaine Mathews Jr. in No. 148, and that is fine. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick151
Rnd5
Taylen Green
Taylen Green at Round 5, Pick 13 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick190
Rnd6
Kelby Collins
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kelby Collins in pick No. 190, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick218
Rnd7
Trey Leckner
Trey Leckner in slot 218 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
