More right than wrong for the Patriots, and a B to prove it. You can hear the double-takes from here. The Patriots took Davin Vann at the 220th pick, roughly 51 spots before his name belonged.
That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
James Pearce Jr.
In No. 22 they get a bendy edge with upside, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at the 38th overall pick is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick55
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery is a better player than slot 55 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick69
Rnd3
Tre Harris
Tre Harris at pick No. 69 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76
Rnd3
Jaylin Noel
A quiet steal in the 76th pick: Jaylin Noel for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick77
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
The board had Carson Schwesinger higher than the Round 3 slot, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick80
Rnd3
Jalen Royals
Nice patience on Jalen Royals, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick106
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick 106 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick144
Rnd5
Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel in the 144th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick151
Rnd5
O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune in No. 151 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick217
Rnd7
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
The board fumbled Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson all the way to slot 217, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick220
Rnd7
Davin Vann
They talked themselves into Davin Vann at the 220th overall pick, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick238
Rnd7
Kyle Monangai
Somehow Kyle Monangai was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 22, and they pounced on premier running back value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick242
Rnd7
R.J. Mickens
You do not let a safety like R.J. Mickens reach pick No. 242 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
