Future B-

Thirty-one other rooms let Sebastian Castro slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at pick No. 194. Highway robbery. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They will need Ersery to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.7 · Pick 7 · Kelvin Banks Jr. · OT · rank 8
In the 7th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value.
R1.26 · Pick 26 · Emery Jones · OT · rank 33
No edge and no loss on Emery Jones in the 26th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Quinshon Judkins · RB · rank 25
Quinshon Judkins slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Abdul Carter · LB · rank 22
A slide stopped in pick 39, with Abdul Carter worth more than the price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Evan Stewart · WR · rank 17
They barely believed it either: Evan Stewart still on the board at slot 58. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Oscar Delp · TE · rank 84
They reached into another round for Oscar Delp, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Earnest Greene III · OG · rank 98
Earnest Greene III at No. 71 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.2 · Pick 98 · Aireontae Ersery · OT · rank 127
Value said wait; Aireontae Ersery in pick No. 98 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.6 · Pick 134 · Hunter Wohler · S · rank 97
Hunter Wohler in pick No. 134 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.2 · Pick 194 · Sebastian Castro · S · rank 57
A safety of that caliber at the 194th pick is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.27 · Pick 219 · Jaheim Oatis · DL · rank 229
They liked Jaheim Oatis enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 7, Pick 27. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
