The Patriots let Stutsman fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Danny Stutsman at No. 256 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Reaching for Eason left real value on the table behind him. The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Martin Emerson Jr. pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R2.1 · Pick 33 · Cameron Williams · OT · rank 37
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cameron Williams. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Emeka Egbuka · WR · rank 24
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 6: Emeka Egbuka for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Donovan Ezeiruaku · DE-EDGE · rank 72
Donovan Ezeiruaku in the 67th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 20
A linebacker of that caliber at the 69th pick is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Maxwell Hairston · CB · rank 77
Maxwell Hairston at pick No. 78 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R4.3 · Pick 104 · Joshua Farmer · DT · rank 118
Joshua Farmer at pick 104 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.6 · Pick 143 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 55
TreVeyon Henderson in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
R5.26 · Pick 163 · Xavier Scott · CB · rank 166
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Scott at slot 163 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R7.1 · Pick 217 · Miles Frazier · OG · rank 227
They paid a round early for Miles Frazier in the 217th overall pick, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · CJ West · DT · rank 209
CJ West is a better player than No. 220 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Bryson Eason · DT · rank 291
They talked themselves into Bryson Eason at pick 238, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.40 · Pick 256 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 90
Danny Stutsman in pick No. 256 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
