The Patriots checked most of the boxes and earned a B-. The Patriots torched the value chart for Ahmed Hassanein, taking him 117 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.
The Rourke steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Abdul Carter
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38
Rnd2
Tre Harris
A conviction pick on Tre Harris at the 38th pick that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick69
Rnd3
Charles Grant
Charles Grant at pick 69 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick77
Rnd3
David Walker
Value said wait; David Walker in pick No. 77 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick105
Rnd4
Ahmed Hassanein
They talked themselves into Ahmed Hassanein at Round 4, Pick 4, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick145
Rnd5
Hollin Pierce
Taking Hollin Pierce in the 145th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick165
Rnd5
Logan Brown
Logan Brown slipping to pick No. 165 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick181
Rnd6
Cobee Bryant
Good price on Cobee Bryant in the Round 6 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick194
Rnd6
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
A wild overpay on Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in the 194th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick202
Rnd6
Thor Griffith
They reached into another round for Thor Griffith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick216
Rnd6
Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke at pick 216 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick217
Rnd6
Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac at Round 6, Pick 39 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick219
Rnd7
Kain Medrano
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kain Medrano. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick222
Rnd7
Trey Wedig
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trey Wedig in slot 222, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick240
Rnd7
Maxen Hook
They went early on Maxen Hook in the Round 7 slot, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick257
Rnd7
Julian Fleming
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Julian Fleming well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
