FutureA
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Patriots to a C. Boards are made to be trusted, and the Patriots shredded theirs for Gino Garcia. He came off 86 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Call it a C and check back in two years.
However the rest shakes out, Bond at that price is a win they earned. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.
That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Parrish pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, safety and other spots.
Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In pick 30 they get a red-zone target to build around at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Will Johnson
Will Johnson at the Round 2 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick69
Rnd3
Jaylin Noel
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jaylin Noel in the 69th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick77
Rnd3
Cameron Williams
They read the board right and Cameron Williams was the payoff at pick No. 77. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick106
Rnd4
Isaiah Bond
Somehow Isaiah Bond was still sitting there in the 106th pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick109
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
They took Anthony Belton at par in slot 109, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick132
Rnd4
Jacob Parrish
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Jacob Parrish adds a cornerback and leaves edge rusher, safety and other spots untouched.
Pick144
Rnd5
Kobe King
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kobe King at the 144th overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick206
Rnd6
Howard Cross III
They paid up for Howard Cross III at No. 206 when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick217
Rnd7
Gino Garcia
Gino Garcia in Round 7, Pick 1 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick220
Rnd7
Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at pick 220 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick238
Rnd7
Drew Kendall
A big swing on Drew Kendall at slot 238, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
