Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Warren: A-. Call it larceny. Tyler Warren sat on the board until slot 38, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.
The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Adding Mike Hilton by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.
The cost of the Barrow Jr. reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Matthew Golden
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at slot 38 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick49
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka in the 49th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at Round 3, Pick 5 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick81
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
By-the-book stuff, Ozzy Trapilo at No. 81 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick99
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in pick 99 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick105
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kevin Winston Jr. in pick No. 105. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick122
Rnd4
Cobee Bryant
A straight-up fair deal on Cobee Bryant at the 122nd pick, value and slot in agreement. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick144
Rnd5
Aeneas Peebles
They took Aeneas Peebles at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick157
Rnd5
Andres Borregales
Andres Borregales in No. 157 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick171
Rnd5
Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at the 171st pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick208
Rnd6
Drew Kendall
Drew Kendall slipping to slot 208 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220
Rnd7
Simeon Barrow Jr.
They paid up for Simeon Barrow Jr. at the 220th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick238
Rnd7
Alijah Huzzie
Nice patience on Alijah Huzzie, who had no business lasting to pick No. 238. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
