You build a draft on nights like this. Dylan Sampson had no business being available in Round 6, Pick 10, and the Patriots did the only sane thing and turned in the card. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Lacy has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.4 · Pick 4 · Tetairoa McMillan · WR · rank 6
In pick No. 4 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Xavier Restrepo · WR · rank 22
Xavier Restrepo in No. 36 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Harold Perkins Jr. · LB · rank 122
Harold Perkins Jr. in slot 76 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.19 · Pick 83 · Tyler Booker · OG · rank 50
Circle this one: Tyler Booker at Round 3, Pick 19 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.4 · Pick 105 · Kenneth Grant · DL · rank 67
Taking Kenneth Grant in the 105th pick is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.11 · Pick 112 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 58
The board fumbled Tyler Warren all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.4 · Pick 142 · Kyren Lacy · WR · rank 248
Kyren Lacy at pick 142 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.10 · Pick 185 · Dylan Sampson · RB · rank 52
Dylan Sampson at the 185th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
R7.6 · Pick 220 · Jordan Hancock · S · rank 145
They barely believed it either: Jordan Hancock still on the board at pick No. 220. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.10 · Pick 224 · Bryce Foster · C · rank 184
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Bryce Foster in pick 224, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.27 · Pick 241 · Thor Griffith · DL · rank 273
They reached a country mile for Thor Griffith at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
