FutureB-
The Patriots worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. The rest of the league had time to spare on Jalen Travis; the Patriots did not wait, grabbing him 49 spots ahead at pick 238.
Getting Harris where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Matthew Golden
In slot 14 they get a true top target at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in Round 2, Pick 6 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69
Rnd3
Quinshon Judkins
A reasonable price with a little left over, Quinshon Judkins in No. 69. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick77
Rnd3
Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams slipping to the 77th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick90
Rnd3
Tre Harris
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tre Harris in the 90th pick, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick103
Rnd4
Zy Alexander
Fair-plus on Zy Alexander, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick106
Rnd4
Mason Taylor
They will replay Mason Taylor at the 106th pick for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick144
Rnd5
Kurtis Rourke
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 144 with a little surplus value in Kurtis Rourke. It fills a real need, too.
Pick166
Rnd5
Elijah Roberts
They went early on Elijah Roberts in Round 5, Pick 28, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick167
Rnd5
Logan Brown
Logan Brown in slot 167 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick172
Rnd5
Jay Higgins
A big swing on Jay Higgins at the 172nd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick174
Rnd5
Jack Kiser
No edge and no loss on Jack Kiser in pick 174; it is a wash and a sensible one. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick217
Rnd7
Jason Marshall Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jason Marshall Jr. at the Round 7 slot is the proof. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick220
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
They paid a round early for Isaac TeSlaa in No. 220, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick238
Rnd7
Jalen Travis
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jalen Travis in No. 238, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
