FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Ward: A-. The Patriots spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Cam Ward, the No. 7 name on the board, in pick No. 235. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.
The Overton reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
In the end it comes back to Travis Hunter, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In the 24th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that.
Pick36
Rnd2
Ashton Jeanty
A running back of that caliber at the Round 2 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick67
Rnd3
Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in the 67th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick79
Rnd3
Kenneth Grant
They paid sticker price for Kenneth Grant in Round 3, Pick 15, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick85
Rnd3
Jahdae Barron
The board fumbled Jahdae Barron all the way to pick 85, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick103
Rnd4
Walter Nolen
Steal is underselling it; Walter Nolen at slot 103 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick104
Rnd4
LT Overton
They left a pile of value on the table to take LT Overton this early at pick No. 104. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick115
Rnd4
Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum in No. 115 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick122
Rnd4
Jihaad Campbell
By-the-book stuff, Jihaad Campbell at the 122nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick125
Rnd4
Tre Harris
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tre Harris in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139
Rnd5
Elic Ayomanor
Taking Elic Ayomanor in pick 139 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick160
Rnd5
Xavier Restrepo
They robbed the room for Xavier Restrepo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick179
Rnd6
Josaiah Stewart
You do not let an edge rusher like Josaiah Stewart reach slot 179 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick217
Rnd7
Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson at the 217th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick220
Rnd7
Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster in pick No. 220 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick235
Rnd7
Cam Ward
Circle this one: Cam Ward at Round 7, Pick 21 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
