Thirty-one other rooms let Tyler Warren slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at No. 69. Highway robbery.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 14 they get an anchor for the defensive front, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
In the 20th pick they get a potential shutdown corner at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Jalon Walker in No. 45 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
A tight end of that caliber at the 69th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
