New England Patriots

The Patriots let Bernard fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The board owed the Patriots one, and it paid up: Germie Bernard, the No. 59 name on the board, sitting there at pick 95 like a gift left on the doorstep. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They will need Black to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.31 · Pick 31 · Akheem Mesidor · DL-EDGE · rank 37
In pick 31 they get a premier pass rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Christen Miller · DL · rank 56
They did well to land Christen Miller in the 63rd pick, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.31 · Pick 95 · Germie Bernard · WR · rank 59
Taking Germie Bernard in the 95th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Bud Clark · S · rank 101
Bud Clark in No. 125 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.31 · Pick 131 · Jack Endries · TE · rank 121
Value with a capital V on Jack Endries in slot 131, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.31 · Pick 171 · Aamil Wagner · OT · rank 174
A straight-up fair deal on Aamil Wagner at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
R6.10 · Pick 191 · Red Murdock · LB · rank 194
No edge and no loss on Red Murdock in Round 6, Pick 10; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R6.17 · Pick 198 · Ephesians Prysock · CB · rank 190
Ephesians Prysock at pick No. 198 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
R6.21 · Pick 202 · Kaelon Black · RB · rank 217
A premium they did not need to pay, Kaelon Black a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.31 · Pick 212 · Jeff Caldwell · WR · rank 189
The board fumbled Jeff Caldwell all the way to No. 212, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.31 · Pick 247 · Logan Taylor · OG · rank 259
A conviction pick on Logan Taylor at Round 7, Pick 31 that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
