Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Burden III: B+. The real work happened on the phones. The Patriots fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.
The Burden III value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a workhorse for the backfield at fair value.
Pick30
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In No. 30 they get a matchup weapon at tight end, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick44
Rnd2
Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III at pick No. 44 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick77
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
