FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Patriots a B+. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Patriots spent pick 104 on Ben Sinnott, a name the board had a full 39 spots lower.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
JC Latham
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at pick 34 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick37
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at slot 37 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick68
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
They paid up for Cooper Beebe at pick No. 68 when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Pick69
Rnd3
Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at the Round 3 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick81
Rnd3
Bucky Irving
They liked Bucky Irving enough to skip the value, taking him in the 81st pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick104
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
A real head-scratcher, Ben Sinnott in Round 4, Pick 4 is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick136
Rnd4
James Williams
They took James Williams at par in pick 136, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick182
Rnd6
Julian Pearl
No drama and no debate, Julian Pearl went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick229
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
A conviction pick on Matthew Jones at No. 229 that the board grades a round light. The roster fit checks out.
