There is reaching, and then there is Thor Griffith at the Round 7 slot. The Patriots jumped the board by 69 and dared it to prove them wrong. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The Bassa value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.20 · Pick 20 · Jack Sawyer · DE-EDGE · rank 31
In No. 20 they get a double-digit-sack hope, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.1 · Pick 33 · Nick Emmanwori · S · rank 22
A slide stopped in the 33rd overall pick, with Nick Emmanwori worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 40
By-the-book stuff, Jihaad Campbell at Round 2, Pick 6 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Ozzy Trapilo · OT · rank 93
They reached into another round for Ozzy Trapilo, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Omarion Hampton · RB · rank 30
Circle this one: Omarion Hampton at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Tate Ratledge · OG · rank 75
They took Tate Ratledge at par in pick No. 69, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Isaiah Bond · WR · rank 54
Isaiah Bond in No. 70 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.3 · Pick 104 · Jack Nelson · OT · rank 128
A wild overpay on Jack Nelson in the Round 4 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.6 · Pick 143 · Kevin Winston Jr. · S · rank 104
Steal is underselling it; Kevin Winston Jr. at pick 143 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.14 · Pick 189 · Jeffrey Bassa · LB · rank 131
You do not let a linebacker like Jeffrey Bassa reach the 189th overall pick and blink. They did not. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R7.1 · Pick 217 · Thor Griffith · DL · rank 286
A big swing on Thor Griffith at Round 7, Pick 1, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Bryson Nesbit · TE · rank 254
They left a pile of value on the table to take Bryson Nesbit this early at pick No. 220. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Cooper Mays · C · rank 282
Cooper Mays in the 238th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
