FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Patriots a A-. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Oluwafemi Oladejo at pick No. 109 is 35 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.
However the rest shakes out, Watts at that price is a win they earned. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.
Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.
In the end it comes back to Mike Green, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Mike Green
Mike Green at slot 30 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick38
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in the 38th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick49
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
By-the-book stuff, Jayden Higgins at pick 49 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick62
Rnd2
Jaylin Noel
No edge and no loss on Jaylin Noel in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick69
Rnd3
Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in Round 3, Pick 5 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick77
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in the 77th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick81
Rnd3
Darien Porter
Darien Porter at No. 81 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick106
Rnd4
Joshua Farmer
A conviction pick on Joshua Farmer at the 106th pick that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick109
Rnd4
Oluwafemi Oladejo
They talked themselves into Oluwafemi Oladejo at pick No. 109, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick144
Rnd5
Andres Borregales
They paid up for Andres Borregales at pick 144 when waiting would have done the job. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick171
Rnd5
Drew Kendall
They reached a country mile for Drew Kendall at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220
Rnd7
Thomas Fidone II
Thomas Fidone II at slot 220 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick238
Rnd7
Jermari Harris
They took Jermari Harris at par in the 238th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
