FutureB-
The phones sank the Patriots this weekend: C. The Patriots torched the value chart for Kamran James, taking him 93 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A weekend of give and take that grades a C.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.
In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Denzel Boston
In the 31st pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63
Rnd2
Jacob Rodriguez
They paid a round early for Jacob Rodriguez in the Round 2 slot, more than the board wanted. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick95
Rnd3
Caden Curry
They left a pile of value on the table to take Caden Curry this early at pick 95. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick125
Rnd4
Jude Bowry
By-the-book stuff, Jude Bowry at No. 125 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick131
Rnd4
Davison Igbinosun
Good price on Davison Igbinosun in the 131st overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick171
Rnd5
VJ Payne
They jumped the gun on VJ Payne, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick191
Rnd6
Ephesians Prysock
A slide stopped in pick 191, with Ephesians Prysock worth more than the price. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick198
Rnd6
George Gumbs Jr.
They reached a country mile for George Gumbs Jr. at the 198th overall pick, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick202
Rnd6
Zxavian Harris
They paid up for Zxavian Harris at Round 6, Pick 21 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick212
Rnd6
John Michael Gyllenborg
John Michael Gyllenborg in No. 212 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick247
Rnd7
De'Zhaun Stribling
A conviction pick on De'Zhaun Stribling at the Round 7 slot that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick249
Rnd7
Daevin Hobbs
Daevin Hobbs at pick No. 249 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick250
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
A straight-up fair deal on Trey Zuhn III at the 250th pick, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick251
Rnd7
Marvin Jones Jr.
A wild overpay on Marvin Jones Jr. in slot 251, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick252
Rnd7
Jack Kelly
Jack Kelly at pick No. 252 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick253
Rnd7
Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at slot 253 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick254
Rnd7
Adam Randall
Adam Randall at Round 7, Pick 38 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick256
Rnd7
Kamran James
Value said wait; Kamran James in the 256th pick says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick257
Rnd7
Robert Spears-Jennings
No drama and no debate, Robert Spears-Jennings went about where he belonged in the Round 7 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
