Enoch257 DRAFTING FOR THEPatriots

Draft Grade — Patriots

FutureA
The Patriots let Gadsden II fall and pounced. Final grade: B-. You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Patriots did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.
The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Getting Gadsden II where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Armand Membou
In pick 12 they get a blindside protector at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Donovan Jackson in pick No. 69. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick77
Rnd3
Elic Ayomanor
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Elic Ayomanor in No. 77. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick106
Rnd4
Savion Williams
They let Savion Williams come to them and pounced at the 106th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick144
Rnd5
Aeneas Peebles
They paid sticker price for Aeneas Peebles in slot 144, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick217
Rnd7
Oronde Gadsden II
Taking Oronde Gadsden II in pick No. 217 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick220
Rnd7
Luke Lachey
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Luke Lachey at slot 220 is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick238
Rnd7
Robert Longerbeam
They will replay Robert Longerbeam at pick 238 for years; that is how good the value is. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
