FutureB-
The phones sank the Patriots this weekend: C. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Eyabi Okie-Anoma at No. 243, a reach of 42 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.
On value alone, Dixon makes the weekend a net positive. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Khalil Mack gives the group a proven body among the projects.
If Brian Thomas Jr. and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 27 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35
Rnd2
Bo Nix
Bo Nix at the 35th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick37
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in the 37th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick40
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at pick No. 40 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick68
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
They took Patrick Paul at par in pick 68, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick71
Rnd3
Xavier Legette
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Legette at No. 71, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick90
Rnd3
Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving at pick No. 90 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick103
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
A clean, defensible pick in Round 4, Pick 3 with a little surplus value in Brenden Rice. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick193
Rnd6
Justin Rogers
No drama and no debate, Justin Rogers went about where he belonged in slot 193. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick226
Rnd7
Johnny Dixon
Steal is underselling it; Johnny Dixon at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick231
Rnd7
C.J. Hanson
C.J. Hanson in No. 231 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick243
Rnd7
Eyabi Okie-Anoma
Eyabi Okie-Anoma at pick 243 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
