FutureA-
Nobody dealt better than the Patriots this weekend: A-. Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Patriots came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.
They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
Getting Egbuka where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Emeka Egbuka at slot 33 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick34
Rnd2
Johnny Wilson
A tidy little value on Johnny Wilson in the 34th pick, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick35
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
They paid sticker price for J.J. McCarthy in the 35th overall pick, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick50
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at Round 2, Pick 18 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick63
Rnd2
Denzel Burke
They did well to land Denzel Burke in No. 63, just ahead of his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick65
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
They took Mekhi Wingo at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
