FutureA+
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Patriots a B. Some picks age like wine; Brant Kuithe at Round 7, Pick 14 will need to, sitting 37 spots clear of his grade.
For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. That Skattebo pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Armand Membou
In slot 19 they get a long-term starter on the line, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick38
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka slid further than he should have, and Round 2, Pick 6 is lovely value for the wide receiver. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick53
Rnd2
Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. at pick No. 53 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick69
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
Nice patience on Jayden Higgins, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
No edge and no loss on Ozzy Trapilo in pick 77; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick114
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
A tidy bit of business in No. 114, where Cam Skattebo graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick121
Rnd4
Xavier Restrepo
Value with a capital V on Xavier Restrepo in the 121st pick, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick144
Rnd5
Cody Simon
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cody Simon in pick No. 144. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick217
Rnd7
Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw in the 217th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick220
Rnd7
Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson in pick 220 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick230
Rnd7
Brant Kuithe
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brant Kuithe well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick238
Rnd7
Hayden Conner
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Hayden Conner. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
