FutureB
The Patriots worked the phones like thieves and earned a B. The CJ Daniels selection is the head-turner. The Patriots reached 66 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.
Getting Horton where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Kelvin Banks Jr.
In pick No. 9 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Emery Jones
In pick 24 they get a blindside protector, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick31
Rnd1
Jonah Savaiinaea
In the 31st pick they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick32
Rnd1
Quinshon Judkins
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a workhorse for the backfield, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39
Rnd2
Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at No. 39 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick56
Rnd2
Quincy Riley
A premium they did not need to pay, Quincy Riley a notch or two before his time. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick66
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at No. 66 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick82
Rnd3
Sonny Styles
They paid sticker price for Sonny Styles in slot 82, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick88
Rnd3
Oscar Delp
They reached into another round for Oscar Delp, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick95
Rnd3
Tyler Warren
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tyler Warren well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick98
Rnd4
J.C. Davis
By-the-book stuff, J.C. Davis at pick No. 98 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick103
Rnd4
Tory Horton
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 103 is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick109
Rnd4
CJ Daniels
A big swing on CJ Daniels at Round 4, Pick 13, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick130
Rnd5
Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick145
Rnd5
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in Round 5, Pick 17 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick194
Rnd7
Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at the 194th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
