Thirty-one other rooms let Jarrian Jones slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at the Round 6 slot. Highway robbery. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
The Sinnott reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 5 they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Bo Nix at pick No. 34 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Kiran Amegadjie at the 68th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
They read the board right and Bralen Trice was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 5. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Renardo Green at No. 103 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
A real head-scratcher, Ben Sinnott in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
You do not let a linebacker like Cedric Gray reach pick 137 and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Jarrian Jones in the 180th pick, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Logan Lee in pick No. 193 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
They paid up for Keaton Bills at the 231st overall pick when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
