Leonard should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a B+. The Patriots spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Riley Leonard, the No. 75 name on the board, in the Round 7 slot. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.
Oatis has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Kolton Miller gives the group a proven body among the projects.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Kelvin Banks Jr.
In slot 14 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick26
Rnd1
Mason Graham
In No. 26 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
Will Johnson
In the 27th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick34
Rnd2
Colston Loveland
Nice patience on Colston Loveland, who had no business lasting to the 34th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick66
Rnd3
Emery Jones
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Emery Jones in pick 66, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick98
Rnd4
Aireontae Ersery
A real head-scratcher, Aireontae Ersery in Round 4, Pick 2 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick130
Rnd5
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick142
Rnd5
Andrew Mukuba
They paid up for Andrew Mukuba at pick No. 142 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick184
Rnd6
Jaheim Oatis
They talked themselves into Jaheim Oatis at pick 184, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick194
Rnd7
Riley Leonard
Riley Leonard at the 194th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
