FutureA+
The phones sank the Patriots this weekend: B-. It is the swing that defines the weekend: Xzavier Henderson in pick No. 238, a good 43 spots before the room expected him. No fireworks, but a solid B-.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. They will answer for taking linebacker early while interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots went begging.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Matthew Golden
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Wyatt Milum
They did well to land Wyatt Milum in No. 38, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick69
Rnd3
Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey in the 69th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick77
Rnd3
Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in pick 77 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick80
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at slot 80 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick106
Rnd4
Cody Simon
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Cody Simon while clear needs at interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots sat open.
Pick144
Rnd5
Andres Borregales
Andres Borregales at pick 144 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick189
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 189th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick217
Rnd7
Luke Lachey
A tidy bit of business in slot 217, where Luke Lachey graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick220
Rnd7
Corey Kiner
A real head-scratcher, Corey Kiner in No. 220 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick238
Rnd7
Xzavier Henderson
Xzavier Henderson at pick No. 238 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
