The Patriots let Loveland fall and pounced. Final grade: A-. If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Patriots, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.
Getting Loveland where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Patriots clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
In the end it comes back to Armand Membou, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Armand Membou
In pick 14 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Nick Emmanwori
In pick No. 27 they get an enforcer at safety at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick45
Rnd2
Colston Loveland
They will replay Colston Loveland at the 45th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick69
Rnd3
Dylan Sampson
A tidy little value on Dylan Sampson in No. 69, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
