FutureB-
Iheanachor should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a B. You could see the war room lean forward. Max Iheanachor at No. 98 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. If Black pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick36
Rnd2
Blake Miller
Blake Miller in pick 36 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick60
Rnd2
Derrick Moore
Derrick Moore in pick No. 60 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick79
Rnd3
Chris Bell
Taking Chris Bell in slot 79 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick98
Rnd3
Max Iheanachor
Steal is underselling it; Max Iheanachor at Round 3, Pick 34 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick125
Rnd4
Skyler Bell
Skyler Bell at No. 125 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick131
Rnd4
Oscar Delp
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Oscar Delp. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick176
Rnd5
Kaleb Elarms-Orr
They took Kaleb Elarms-Orr at par in the 176th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick198
Rnd6
Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock at the 198th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick202
Rnd6
Kaelon Black
Kaelon Black at the 202nd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick244
Rnd7
Cole Payton
Cole Payton in slot 244 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
