New England Patriots

Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Patriots: C+.

The Patriots torched the value chart for Jarquez Hunter, taking him 127 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Gadsden II.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.1 · Pick 33 · Armand Membou · OT · rank 66
Armand Membou in pick No. 33 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Elic Ayomanor · WR · rank 96
Elic Ayomanor at the Round 2 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 60
Nothing to complain about; TreVeyon Henderson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Kevin Winston Jr. · S · rank 91
A big swing on Kevin Winston Jr. at Round 3, Pick 5, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Chase Lundt · OT · rank 159
Chase Lundt at pick 77 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.3 · Pick 104 · Jared Wilson · C · rank 210
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jared Wilson. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.6 · Pick 143 · Oronde Gadsden II · TE · rank 130
Oronde Gadsden II at the Round 5 slot is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
R7.1 · Pick 217 · Jarquez Hunter · RB · rank 344
They talked themselves into Jarquez Hunter at the 217th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Ryan Fitzgerald · PK · rank 229
A conviction pick on Ryan Fitzgerald at Round 7, Pick 4 that the board grades a round light. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Jimmy Horn Jr. · WR · rank 298
They reached a country mile for Jimmy Horn Jr. at pick 238, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
