Call it larceny. Cam Skattebo sat on the board until pick No. 205, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They will need Dellinger to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.14 · Pick 14 · Will Campbell · OT · rank 15
In No. 14 they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 38
They took Jihaad Campbell at par in the 38th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
R2.13 · Pick 45 · Matthew Golden · WR · rank 44
No drama and no debate, Matthew Golden went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Andrew Mukuba · S · rank 70
By-the-book stuff, Andrew Mukuba at pick No. 69 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.21 · Pick 85 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 60
They robbed the room for TreVeyon Henderson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.3 · Pick 104 · Gunnar Helm · TE · rank 69
They barely believed it either: Gunnar Helm still on the board at Round 4, Pick 3. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.6 · Pick 143 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 84
Danny Stutsman in the 143rd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R6.14 · Pick 189 · Cody Simon · LB · rank 120
They will replay Cody Simon at slot 189 for years; that is how good the value is. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R6.30 · Pick 205 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 109
Somehow Cam Skattebo was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier running back value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.1 · Pick 217 · Garrett Dellinger · OG · rank 250
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Garrett Dellinger. The roster fit checks out.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Rod Moore · S · rank 134
Taking Rod Moore in pick No. 220 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Jake Briningstool · TE · rank 207
A tight end of that caliber at pick 238 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
