FutureA+
The Patriots leave the weekend clear winners: A-. The rest of the league had time to spare on Sam Hartman; the Patriots did not wait, grabbing him 75 spots ahead at Round 6, Pick 33. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.
A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want. That is an interior defensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
Bottom line, with Dallas Turner leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In pick 21 they get juice off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kool-Aid McKinstry at the 34th pick is the proof. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick55
Rnd2
Kiran Amegadjie
A reach on Kiran Amegadjie in slot 55; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick68
Rnd3
Ruke Orhorhoro
They let Ruke Orhorhoro come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick135
Rnd4
Dallin Holker
They talked themselves into Dallin Holker at the 135th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick139
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at pick No. 139 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick155
Rnd5
Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell in the Round 5 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick182
Rnd6
Jha'Quan Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jha'Quan Jackson in No. 182. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick208
Rnd6
Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman in the 208th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick229
Rnd7
Ryan Cooper Jr.
Ryan Cooper Jr. in the 229th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick256
Rnd7
Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at Round 7, Pick 36 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
