You build a draft on nights like this. Jeffrey Bassa had no business being available in pick 232, and the Patriots did the only sane thing and turned in the card. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The Rogers pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.14 · Pick 14 · Josh Simmons · OT · rank 19
In pick No. 14 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Emeka Egbuka · WR · rank 25
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Emeka Egbuka at Round 2, Pick 6. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.13 · Pick 45 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 18
Tyler Warren at the 45th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Kaleb Johnson · RB · rank 39
Kaleb Johnson at the 69th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 38
They barely believed it either: Jihaad Campbell still on the board at No. 77. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R4.3 · Pick 104 · Tate Ratledge · OG · rank 52
Tate Ratledge in pick 104 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.6 · Pick 143 · Dorian Strong · CB · rank 165
They talked themselves into Dorian Strong at slot 143, and the board did not agree. A minor itch, scratched.
R7.1 · Pick 217 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 114
You do not let a running back like Cam Skattebo reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Ryan Fitzgerald · PK · rank 111
Taking Ryan Fitzgerald in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a specialist that good had no business lasting this long. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R7.16 · Pick 232 · Jeffrey Bassa · LB · rank 122
Jeffrey Bassa in slot 232 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Will Rogers · QB · rank 325
This one needs a full-page explanation: Will Rogers in Round 7, Pick 22, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
