The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Patriots reached some 78 spots for Jamaree Caldwell, and value like that does not grow back.

The Mukuba pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Will Campbell · OT · rank 15
In slot 12 they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Mason Graham · DT · rank 6
They robbed the room for Mason Graham here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 22
The board had Jalon Walker higher than pick 38, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 44
They paid sticker price for Tyler Warren in the 44th pick, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Ozzy Trapilo · OT · rank 132
A wild overpay on Ozzy Trapilo in Round 3, Pick 5, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Jake Majors · C · rank 94
They paid up for Jake Majors at the Round 3 slot when waiting would have done the job. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.3 · Pick 104 · Andrew Mukuba · S · rank 72
Andrew Mukuba at Round 4, Pick 3 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.6 · Pick 143 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 114
Steal is underselling it; Cam Skattebo at pick 143 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.1 · Pick 217 · Jamaree Caldwell · DL · rank 295
They talked themselves into Jamaree Caldwell at No. 217, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Jack Kiser · LB · rank 195
Jack Kiser in pick No. 220 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Terrance Ferguson · TE · rank 222
Value with a capital V on Terrance Ferguson in the 238th overall pick, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
