The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Smith: A. You could see the war room lean forward. Brashard Smith at slot 241 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.
If Hemingway pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Kelvin Banks Jr.
In slot 13 they get a blindside protector, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick37
Rnd2
Tetairoa McMillan
Tetairoa McMillan at No. 37 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick38
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick69
Rnd3
Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at pick 69 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick77
Rnd3
Kyle Kennard
No drama and no debate, Kyle Kennard went about where he belonged in the 77th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick105
Rnd4
Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at pick No. 105 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick143
Rnd5
Jake Majors
Taking Jake Majors in Round 5, Pick 6 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick179
Rnd6
Tonka Hemingway
They reached into another round for Tonka Hemingway, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick217
Rnd7
Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in slot 217 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick220
Rnd7
Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick241
Rnd7
Brashard Smith
They barely believed it either: Brashard Smith still on the board at pick No. 241. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
