FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Patriots. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Gino Garcia, 85 picks early at pick 220.
The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Fannin Jr..
Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick23
Rnd1
Josh Simmons
In the 23rd overall pick they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick69
Rnd3
Harold Fannin Jr.
A slide stopped in the 69th pick, with Harold Fannin Jr. worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick106
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
They took Cam Skattebo at par in No. 106, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick144
Rnd5
Hollin Pierce
A reasonable price with a little left over, Hollin Pierce in slot 144. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick217
Rnd7
Jay Higgins
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jay Higgins at pick 217 is the proof. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick220
Rnd7
Gino Garcia
They reached into another round for Gino Garcia, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
