FutureB-
The Patriots won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. Some picks age like wine; Chris Tyree at Round 7, Pick 5 will need to, sitting 58 spots clear of his grade.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Landing Egbuka that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In slot 17 they get a cornerstone up front, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick30
Rnd1
Malaki Starks
In No. 30 they get a downhill hitter at safety, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35
Rnd2
Emery Jones
Emery Jones in pick 35 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick45
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka in Round 2, Pick 13 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick50
Rnd2
Xavier Nwankpa
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Nwankpa. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69
Rnd3
Mitchell Evans
They barely believed it either: Mitchell Evans still on the board at the 69th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick99
Rnd4
Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in pick No. 99 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick114
Rnd4
Alfred Collins
They reached into another round for Alfred Collins, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick131
Rnd5
Andrew Mukuba
A real head-scratcher, Andrew Mukuba in slot 131 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick133
Rnd5
Jasheen Davis
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jasheen Davis this early at the 133rd overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick178
Rnd6
Tahj Brooks
They did well to land Tahj Brooks in the Round 6 slot, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick195
Rnd7
CJ Dippre
CJ Dippre at the 195th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick197
Rnd7
Chris Tyree
They talked themselves into Chris Tyree at No. 197, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
