FutureA
The Patriots won the night they stopped Stutsman from sliding. Grade: B. The Patriots did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Danny Stutsman fell into pick No. 223. The bottom line is a respectable B.
That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They will need Jackson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.
On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In the 15th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond is a better player than Round 2, Pick 4 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick47
Rnd2
Domani Jackson
They paid up for Domani Jackson at No. 47 when waiting would have done the job. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick68
Rnd3
Jalon Walker
Somehow Jalon Walker was still sitting there in pick No. 68, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick83
Rnd3
Mike Green
Circle this one: Mike Green at the 83rd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick105
Rnd4
Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick142
Rnd5
Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at slot 142 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick220
Rnd7
Oronde Gadsden II
The board fumbled Oronde Gadsden II all the way to pick 220, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick223
Rnd7
Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick241
Rnd7
Raheim Sanders
A running back of that caliber at slot 241 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
