FutureA
Zvada should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a B. Call it larceny. Dominic Zvada sat on the board until the Round 7 slot, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
Reaching for Johnson left real value on the table behind him. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.
They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Josh Simmons
In pick No. 14 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Matthew Golden
Matthew Golden at the 38th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick45
Rnd2
Benjamin Morrison
They took Benjamin Morrison at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick69
Rnd3
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at No. 69 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick77
Rnd3
Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at slot 77 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick104
Rnd4
Luke Kandra
A straight-up fair deal on Luke Kandra at pick 104, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick143
Rnd5
Danny Stutsman
They will replay Danny Stutsman at Round 5, Pick 6 for years; that is how good the value is. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick217
Rnd7
Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in the 217th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick220
Rnd7
Dominic Zvada
Dominic Zvada at pick 220 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick232
Rnd7
Raheim Sanders
Steal is underselling it; Raheim Sanders at the 232nd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238
Rnd7
Corey Kiner
Corey Kiner in pick No. 238 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
