You build a draft on nights like this. Ryan Fitzgerald had no business being available in pick No. 219, and the Patriots did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A.

Brosmer has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.14 · Pick 14 · Mykel Williams · DE-EDGE · rank 16
In pick No. 14 they get a disruptor off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Alfred Collins · DT · rank 56
They took Alfred Collins at par in pick 53, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 14
They barely believed it either: Tyler Warren still on the board at the 69th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.4 · Pick 105 · Demetrius Knight Jr. · LB · rank 61
You do not let a linebacker like Demetrius Knight Jr. reach the 105th overall pick and blink. They did not. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R4.19 · Pick 120 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 55
Circle this one: TreVeyon Henderson at slot 120 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.6 · Pick 145 · Jake Majors · C · rank 107
They will replay Jake Majors at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.34 · Pick 173 · Barrett Carter · LB · rank 83
The board fumbled Barrett Carter all the way to Round 5, Pick 34, and they scooped it up. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R7.1 · Pick 219 · Ryan Fitzgerald · PK · rank 117
Ryan Fitzgerald in No. 219 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R7.4 · Pick 222 · Luke Elzinga · P · rank 200
Luke Elzinga in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R7.19 · Pick 237 · Lander Barton · LB · rank 138
Lander Barton at slot 237 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R7.22 · Pick 240 · Max Brosmer · QB · rank 312
Max Brosmer at No. 240 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
