FutureA
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Patriots. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Gino Garcia, 86 picks early at the Round 7 slot. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
However the rest shakes out, Henderson at that price is a win they earned. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Matthew Golden
In No. 17 they get a true top target at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jalon Walker at pick No. 38. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick49
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku in Round 2, Pick 17 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick69
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
A premium they did not need to pay, Ozzy Trapilo a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick77
Rnd3
Isaiah Bond
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaiah Bond. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick81
Rnd3
Xavier Watts
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Xavier Watts in the 81st overall pick, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick106
Rnd4
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick144
Rnd5
Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra in Round 5, Pick 6 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick217
Rnd7
Gino Garcia
Gino Garcia at the 217th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick220
Rnd7
Luke Lachey
They read the board right and Luke Lachey was the payoff at slot 220. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick238
Rnd7
Drew Kendall
A big swing on Drew Kendall at No. 238, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
