FutureB-
The phones sank the Patriots this weekend: D. The Patriots lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.
Every board in the league had Dumas-Johnson lower, and that gap is the story. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want. Nolen falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, safety very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Kelvin Banks Jr.
In pick 4 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
Taking Walter Nolen in pick No. 38 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick69
Rnd3
Tre Harris
Tre Harris at Round 3, Pick 5 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick77
Rnd3
Darien Porter
Darien Porter at the 77th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick90
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo slid further than he should have, and No. 90 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick106
Rnd4
David Walker
By-the-book stuff, David Walker at slot 106 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick119
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
The board had Cam Skattebo higher than the Round 4 slot, and the running back fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick122
Rnd4
Logan Brown
They reached a country mile for Logan Brown at the 122nd overall pick, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick144
Rnd5
Kurtis Rourke
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kurtis Rourke in Round 5, Pick 6. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick217
Rnd7
Jamon Dumas-Johnson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jamon Dumas-Johnson well ahead of where he belonged. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick220
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
A conviction pick on Isaac TeSlaa at pick No. 220 that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
