The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Foster: B. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Javon Foster, No. 193, roughly 72 picks past where he belonged.
The Tupuola-Fetui reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.
Adding Khalil Mack by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 5th pick they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34
Rnd2
JC Latham
JC Latham at the Round 2 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick68
Rnd3
Brian Thomas Jr.
Taking Brian Thomas Jr. in pick 68 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
They will replay Khyree Jackson at the 104th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick106
Rnd4
Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at No. 106 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128
Rnd4
Jordan Travis
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jordan Travis. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick136
Rnd4
Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in Round 4, Pick 36 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick150
Rnd5
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A wild overpay on Zion Tupuola-Fetui in pick No. 150, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick182
Rnd6
Dylan Laube
Steal is underselling it; Dylan Laube at the 182nd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick193
Rnd6
Javon Foster
Javon Foster in the Round 6 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick229
Rnd7
Joe Milton III
A quarterback of that caliber at pick 229 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick232
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at slot 232 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
