Future B-

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Patriots took Oluwafemi Oladejo a full 119 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the safety spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.4 · Pick 4 · Will Campbell · OT · rank 11
In the 4th pick they get a building block for the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · JT Tuimoloau · DE-EDGE · rank 49
They went early on JT Tuimoloau in the Round 2 slot, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Jayden Higgins · WR · rank 68
They took Jayden Higgins at par in pick 69, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Darien Porter · CB · rank 75
A straight-up fair deal on Darien Porter at No. 77, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R4.16 · Pick 118 · Oluwafemi Oladejo · LB-EDGE · rank 237
Oluwafemi Oladejo at the 118th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.6 · Pick 144 · Logan Brown · OT · rank 144
Logan Brown at slot 144 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.1 · Pick 217 · Teddye Buchanan · LB · rank 234
Teddye Buchanan at No. 217 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Barryn Sorrell · LB-EDGE · rank 315
Barryn Sorrell in pick 220 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Thor Griffith · DL · rank 298
A big swing on Thor Griffith at pick No. 238, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.26 · Pick 242 · Shaun Dolac · LB · rank 309
They reached into another round for Shaun Dolac, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
