FutureB-
The Patriots won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. The Patriots looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Xavier Thomas at pick 224 regardless, 40 picks early. No fireworks, but a solid B+.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Emeka Egbuka
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at slot 35 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick67
Rnd3
Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at Round 3, Pick 3 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick103
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at No. 103 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick181
Rnd6
Jordan Burch
They went early on Jordan Burch in the 181st pick, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick224
Rnd7
Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas at pick No. 224 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
