The Patriots kept it disciplined and banked a B-. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Josh Proctor, 92 picks early at the 182nd overall pick.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 4th overall pick they get a blindside protector at fair value.
Pick36
Rnd2
Quinn Ewers
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Quinn Ewers. The roster fit checks out.
Pick68
Rnd3
Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at Round 3, Pick 4 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104
Rnd4
Audric Estime
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Audric Estime. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick141
Rnd5
Miles Frazier
This one needs a full-page explanation: Miles Frazier in pick No. 141, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick182
Rnd6
Josh Proctor
A real head-scratcher, Josh Proctor in the 182nd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
