Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Patriots came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.
Getting Logan Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.
A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.
Pick-by-Pick
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Keon Coleman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
J.J. McCarthy in pick 34 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Chop Robinson in the Round 2 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
A straight-up fair deal on Dominick Puni at No. 104, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at pick No. 136 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Frank Gore Jr. at slot 182 is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
A safety of that caliber at pick No. 229 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
