FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Ward: A-. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Patriots watched Cam Ward slide 212 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.
The Capehart pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
The Patriots clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
Bottom line, with Travis Hunter leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In pick No. 27 they get a sticky cover corner at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick34
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in slot 34 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick56
Rnd2
Ashton Jeanty
They robbed the room for Ashton Jeanty here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick71
Rnd3
Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at Round 3, Pick 7 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91
Rnd3
Walter Nolen
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the 91st overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99
Rnd4
Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick100
Rnd4
Tre Harris
Tre Harris at pick 100 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick101
Rnd4
Quinshon Judkins
They read the board right and Quinshon Judkins was the payoff at the 101st pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick127
Rnd4
Aireontae Ersery
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Aireontae Ersery. It fills a real need, too.
Pick130
Rnd5
Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum in the 130th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick135
Rnd5
Jaeden Roberts
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jaeden Roberts in slot 135. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick159
Rnd5
Ashton Gillotte
Somehow Ashton Gillotte was still sitting there in No. 159, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick163
Rnd6
Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in pick 163 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick191
Rnd6
Shemar Turner
Steal is underselling it; Shemar Turner at Round 6, Pick 31 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick194
Rnd7
DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at the 194th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick223
Rnd7
Cam Ward
Taking Cam Ward in pick No. 223 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
