New England Patriots

A respectable, level-headed haul for the Patriots: B+.

The war room fell hard for Max Brosmer, and it showed at the 238th overall pick: 77 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

The Trapilo pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 23
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. Need was not the driver here.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Aireontae Ersery · OT · rank 46
They liked Aireontae Ersery enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 38. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Jayden Higgins · WR · rank 68
No edge and no loss on Jayden Higgins in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.15 · Pick 79 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 100
A real head-scratcher, Cam Skattebo in the 79th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.38 · Pick 102 · Terrance Ferguson · TE · rank 113
The board had cheaper options than Terrance Ferguson at pick 102, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.14 · Pick 116 · Ozzy Trapilo · OT · rank 82
Circle this one: Ozzy Trapilo at the 116th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
R5.6 · Pick 144 · Jaylen Reed · S · rank 188
Jaylen Reed in No. 144 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.20 · Pick 196 · JJ Pegues · DT · rank 182
JJ Pegues in Round 6, Pick 20 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.1 · Pick 217 · Ricky White III · WR · rank 214
Ricky White III in the 217th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Robert Longerbeam · CB · rank 217
Robert Longerbeam at the 220th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R7.8 · Pick 224 · Drew Kendall · C · rank 286
They talked themselves into Drew Kendall at slot 224, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Max Brosmer · QB · rank 315
Max Brosmer at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
