FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Patriots: B. The Patriots looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Xavier Chaplin at Round 6, Pick 31 regardless, 27 picks early. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
The Carter pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.
On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Charlie Becker
In slot 17 they get a No. 1 receiver, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44
Rnd2
Dashawn Spears
The board had Dashawn Spears higher than pick 44, and the safety fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick52
Rnd2
Jadan Baugh
Nice patience on Jadan Baugh, who had no business lasting to the 52nd pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75
Rnd3
Greg Johnson
Value with a capital V on Greg Johnson in the Round 3 slot, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick112
Rnd4
Luke Montgomery
They let Luke Montgomery come to them and pounced at Round 4, Pick 10. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick125
Rnd4
Drake Lindsey
Drake Lindsey in No. 125 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick160
Rnd5
Drayk Bowen
Drayk Bowen is a better player than pick No. 160 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick182
Rnd6
Drew Bobo
A tidy bit of business in the 182nd overall pick, where Drew Bobo graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick195
Rnd6
Mason Curtis
Mason Curtis at the Round 6 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick212
Rnd6
Xavier Chaplin
Xavier Chaplin at slot 212 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick218
Rnd6
Christian Alliegro
They took Christian Alliegro at par in the 218th pick, which is nothing to complain about. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick250
Rnd7
D'Antre Robinson
A big swing on D'Antre Robinson at Round 7, Pick 31, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick253
Rnd7
Boo Carter
They will replay Boo Carter at pick 253 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick257
Rnd7
Evan Stewart
They went early on Evan Stewart in No. 257, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
