The phones sank the Patriots this weekend: B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Xavier Truss at pick 222. The Patriots jumped the board by 72 and dared it to prove them wrong. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Pierce at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 16
In No. 25 they get a mismatch in the passing game, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Aireontae Ersery · OT · rank 48
A conviction pick on Aireontae Ersery at the 38th pick that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · JT Tuimoloau · DE-EDGE · rank 49
They read the board right and JT Tuimoloau was the payoff at Round 2, Pick 26. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 55
TreVeyon Henderson in the 69th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
R3.17 · Pick 81 · Jack Bech · WR · rank 65
They let Jack Bech come to them and pounced at pick 81. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.25 · Pick 89 · Andrew Mukuba · S · rank 87
Andrew Mukuba in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.4 · Pick 105 · Darius Alexander · DT · rank 126
They reached into another round for Darius Alexander, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.17 · Pick 118 · Jeffrey Bassa · LB · rank 127
A premium they did not need to pay, Jeffrey Bassa a notch or two before his time. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R5.6 · Pick 145 · Hollin Pierce · OT · rank 112
The board fumbled Hollin Pierce all the way to slot 145, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.1 · Pick 219 · Jabbar Muhammad · CB · rank 229
They paid up for Jabbar Muhammad at the 219th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R7.4 · Pick 222 · Xavier Truss · OT · rank 294
They left a pile of value on the table to take Xavier Truss this early at pick No. 222. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.22 · Pick 240 · Gino Garcia · PK · rank 280
They talked themselves into Gino Garcia at Round 7, Pick 22, and the board did not agree. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
