FutureB-
Singleton should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a B+. Somebody in slot 217 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Patriots sat still while Nicholas Singleton, the No. 100 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Every board in the league had Jackson lower, and that gap is the story. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Shavon Revel Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick38
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
A quiet steal in the 38th pick: Emeka Egbuka for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick47
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tyler Booker at pick 47. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick57
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in Round 2, Pick 25 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick69
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at No. 69 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77
Rnd3
Tyler Warren
The board fumbled Tyler Warren all the way to the 77th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick78
Rnd3
Deone Walker
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 78, where Deone Walker graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick81
Rnd3
Elic Ayomanor
They paid a round early for Elic Ayomanor in slot 81, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick118
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at the 118th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick126
Rnd4
Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at No. 126 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick143
Rnd5
TreVeyon Henderson
Steal is underselling it; TreVeyon Henderson at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick217
Rnd7
Nicholas Singleton
They barely believed it either: Nicholas Singleton still on the board at slot 217. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220
Rnd7
Jonah Monheim
Fair-plus on Jonah Monheim, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick241
Rnd7
Nohl Williams
By-the-book stuff, Nohl Williams at pick No. 241 squarely in line with his ranking. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
