Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Hancock: C.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jordan Hancock at the Round 7 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It lands right in the middle: a C, no more, no less.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They are betting Dippre proves the room right and everyone else wrong. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.9 · Pick 9 · Will Campbell · OT · rank 6
In the 9th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A real need, handled.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Jack Sawyer · DE-EDGE · rank 24
A slide stopped in Round 2, Pick 2, with Jack Sawyer worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · J. Michael Sturdivant · WR · rank 92
They paid a round early for J. Michael Sturdivant in pick No. 76, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.2 · Pick 98 · Walter Nolen · DT · rank 38
Circle this one: Walter Nolen at No. 98 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.2 · Pick 130 · Tre Harris · WR · rank 69
They will replay Tre Harris at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.12 · Pick 140 · Anthony Belton · OT · rank 91
Anthony Belton at pick 140 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.17 · Pick 145 · Bryson Nesbit · TE · rank 143
Bryson Nesbit at slot 145 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.9 · Pick 169 · TJ Ferguson · OG · rank 136
Taking TJ Ferguson in the 169th pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.2 · Pick 194 · CJ Dippre · TE · rank 214
They reached into another round for CJ Dippre, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.12 · Pick 204 · Jordan Hancock · CB · rank 63
Steal is underselling it; Jordan Hancock at the 204th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
