Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Brashard Smith got past him. The Patriots do not have to explain a thing at pick 221. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Smith pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.3 · Pick 3 · Travis Hunter · CB · rank 1
In the 3rd pick they get a sticky cover corner at fair value.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Emeka Egbuka · WR · rank 25
They read the board right and Emeka Egbuka was the payoff at pick 39. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Jack Nelson · OT · rank 120
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jack Nelson this early at the Round 3 slot. It fills a real need, too.
R3.16 · Pick 80 · Ozzy Trapilo · OT · rank 137
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ozzy Trapilo in slot 80, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
R4.5 · Pick 106 · Evan Stewart · WR · rank 100
Nothing to complain about; Evan Stewart went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.3 · Pick 141 · Barrett Carter · LB · rank 85
They barely believed it either: Barrett Carter still on the board at No. 141. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R7.7 · Pick 221 · Brashard Smith · RB · rank 106
Taking Brashard Smith in pick No. 221 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.9 · Pick 223 · Bryce Foster · C · rank 200
They robbed the room for Bryce Foster here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.21 · Pick 235 · Tim Smith · DL · rank 308
Value said wait; Tim Smith in pick No. 235 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
