FutureA
Larceny in pick 123 lands the Patriots a A-, Ayomanor and all. You could see the war room lean forward. Elic Ayomanor at slot 123 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.
If Cook pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tyler Warren in pick No. 22. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick38
Rnd2
Luther Burden III
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Luther Burden III in the 38th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
The board had Jihaad Campbell higher than the 44th overall pick, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick51
Rnd2
Landon Jackson
Value with a capital V on Landon Jackson in the Round 2 slot, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick69
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson slid further than he should have, and Round 3, Pick 5 is lovely value for the running back. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
No edge and no loss on Ozzy Trapilo in slot 76; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick77
Rnd3
Charles Grant
Charles Grant at pick 77 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick86
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
They did well to land Andrew Mukuba in No. 86, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106
Rnd4
Joshua Farmer
They paid a round early for Joshua Farmer in the Round 4 slot, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick122
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
Nice patience on Anthony Belton, who had no business lasting to pick No. 122. It fills a real need, too.
Pick123
Rnd4
Elic Ayomanor
Steal is underselling it; Elic Ayomanor at pick 123 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick124
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jared Wilson in slot 124, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick144
Rnd5
Vernon Broughton
They reached into another round for Vernon Broughton, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick171
Rnd5
Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald at the 171st pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick220
Rnd7
Cam Horsley
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cam Horsley well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238
Rnd7
Brady Cook
Brady Cook at No. 238 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
