You can draft well and still miss the point. The Patriots did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to interior defensive lineman, which was the need that mattered most.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.31 · Pick 31 · R Mason Thomas · DE-EDGE · rank 33
In the 31st pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Zachariah Branch · WR · rank 60
A clean, defensible pick in the 63rd overall pick with a little surplus value in Zachariah Branch. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
