FutureC
The Patriots got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D. The Patriots treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 243rd pick on Keeshawn Silver a full 140 spots early. Put together, it is a D.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Getting Weigman where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.
The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Keldric Faulk
In pick 20 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick30
Rnd1
Avieon Terrell
In the 30th pick they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick57
Rnd2
Antonio Williams
Antonio Williams at slot 57 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick62
Rnd2
CJ Allen
You do not let a linebacker like CJ Allen reach pick No. 62 and blink. They did not. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick68
Rnd3
Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers is a better player than the 68th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick99
Rnd3
Monroe Freeling
They took Monroe Freeling at par in No. 99, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick112
Rnd4
Kalil Alexander
Kalil Alexander in Round 4, Pick 10 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick125
Rnd4
Darius Taylor
No drama and no debate, Darius Taylor went about where he belonged in pick No. 125. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick129
Rnd4
Rod Moore
A clean, defensible pick in slot 129 with a little surplus value in Rod Moore. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick151
Rnd5
Lee Hunter
A straight-up fair deal on Lee Hunter at No. 151, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick165
Rnd5
Bryce Foster
They paid up for Bryce Foster at pick 165 when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171
Rnd5
Jordan White
Jordan White at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick198
Rnd6
Noah Thomas
Noah Thomas in the 198th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick203
Rnd6
Conner Weigman
They barely believed it either: Conner Weigman still on the board at the 203rd pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick213
Rnd6
Keaten Wade
A real head-scratcher, Keaten Wade in Round 6, Pick 37 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick218
Rnd7
James Williams
They went early on James Williams in pick 218, and the value did not follow. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick222
Rnd7
Hykeem Williams
Hykeem Williams at No. 222 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick225
Rnd7
Dylan Edwards
They talked themselves into Dylan Edwards at pick No. 225, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick233
Rnd7
Solomon Tuliaupupu
This one needs a full-page explanation: Solomon Tuliaupupu in slot 233, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick243
Rnd7
Keeshawn Silver
Keeshawn Silver at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
