Future A

The Tyler Batty selection is the head-turner. The Patriots reached 77 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Judkins. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.8 · Pick 8 · Will Campbell · OT · rank 15
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front. A real need, handled.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Emeka Egbuka · WR · rank 28
A tidy little value on Emeka Egbuka in No. 34, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Tate Ratledge · OG · rank 31
Tate Ratledge in pick No. 36 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Benjamin Morrison · CB · rank 47
The board had cheaper options than Benjamin Morrison at slot 39, and it noticed. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 25
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 67 is the definition of value, full stop. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.15 · Pick 79 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 44
Tyler Warren in Round 3, Pick 15 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.29 · Pick 93 · Charles Grant · OT · rank 89
Charles Grant at slot 93 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It fills a real need, too.
R4.2 · Pick 103 · Jake Majors · C · rank 93
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jake Majors at the 103rd overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.1 · Pick 138 · Quinshon Judkins · RB · rank 74
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Quinshon Judkins in No. 138, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.3 · Pick 140 · Barrett Carter · LB · rank 83
Circle this one: Barrett Carter at Round 5, Pick 3 is a fall that decides a draft. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R7.3 · Pick 219 · Tyler Batty · DE-EDGE · rank 296
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tyler Batty this early at the 219th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Logan Parr · OG · rank 222
Logan Parr in pick 220 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Stone Handy · LB-EDGE · rank 295
A big swing on Stone Handy at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
