The Patriots robbed the room for Paul Jr.. Final grade: B-. Thirty-one other rooms let Chris Paul Jr. slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at pick 220. Highway robbery. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.
They will need Johnson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick38
Rnd2
Tez Johnson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tez Johnson well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick45
Rnd2
Trey Amos
A conviction pick on Trey Amos at No. 45 that the board grades a round light. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick69
Rnd3
Dylan Fairchild
Value with a capital V on Dylan Fairchild in slot 69, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick77
Rnd3
Xavier Watts
Circle this one: Xavier Watts at the 77th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick105
Rnd4
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in pick 105 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick143
Rnd5
Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick217
Rnd7
Xzavier Henderson
A real head-scratcher, Xzavier Henderson in pick No. 217 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick220
Rnd7
Chris Paul Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 220 is the definition of value, full stop. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick232
Rnd7
Raheim Sanders
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Raheim Sanders in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick241
Rnd7
Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at pick No. 241 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
