New England Patriots

Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Smith: A.

Future A+

You could see the war room lean forward. Brashard Smith at the 241st overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. This is how you run a draft, and the A reflects it.

The cost of the Hemingway reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Kelvin Banks Jr. and all.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.13 · Pick 13 · Kelvin Banks Jr. · OT · rank 3
A tidy bit of business in slot 13, where Kelvin Banks Jr. graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Tetairoa McMillan · WR · rank 5
They will replay Tetairoa McMillan at the Round 2 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 44
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Warren at No. 38 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Denzel Burke · CB · rank 64
Nothing to complain about; Denzel Burke went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Kyle Kennard · DE-EDGE · rank 77
They paid sticker price for Kyle Kennard in pick 77, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.4 · Pick 105 · Nicholas Singleton · RB · rank 99
A clean, defensible pick in the 105th overall pick with a little surplus value in Nicholas Singleton. The roster fit checks out.
R5.6 · Pick 143 · Jake Majors · C · rank 93
Circle this one: Jake Majors at the 143rd pick is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Tonka Hemingway · DT · rank 224
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tonka Hemingway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.1 · Pick 217 · Lathan Ransom · S · rank 103
They barely believed it either: Lathan Ransom still on the board at No. 217. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Jack Kiser · LB · rank 191
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jack Kiser in the 220th overall pick, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R7.25 · Pick 241 · Brashard Smith · RB · rank 104
Brashard Smith in slot 241 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
