FutureA
The Patriots kept it disciplined and banked a B. The Patriots put a flag in the ground for JJ Pegues, 43 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.
However the rest shakes out, Mukuba at that price is a win they earned. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Josh Simmons
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka in the 38th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick49
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell slid further than he should have, and slot 49 is lovely value for the linebacker. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick69
Rnd3
Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel slipping to pick 69 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick77
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Donovan Jackson worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick81
Rnd3
Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins is a better player than pick No. 81 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick106
Rnd4
Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at No. 106 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick144
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at the 144th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick171
Rnd5
Drew Kendall
Drew Kendall in pick 171 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick220
Rnd7
Jay Toia
The board had Jay Toia higher than pick No. 220, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238
Rnd7
Cam Horsley
Cam Horsley at Round 7, Pick 22 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
