New England Patriots

Nobody dealt better than the Patriots this weekend: B.

The Patriots did not so much draft Gabe Jacas as overpay for him, 158 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They banked enough surplus on Campbell to cover a lot of smaller sins.

It is not that Schwesinger is a bad player; it is that the Patriots had louder needs to answer first. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.31 · Pick 31 · Malaki Starks · S · rank 18
In No. 31 they get an enforcer at safety, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.14 · Pick 46 · Tyler Booker · OG · rank 37
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tyler Booker at the Round 2 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 40
Jihaad Campbell in the 69th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Donovan Jackson · OT · rank 85
Donovan Jackson at pick No. 77 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.21 · Pick 85 · Omarr Norman-Lott · DT · rank 76
Omarr Norman-Lott is a better player than slot 85 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.33 · Pick 97 · Carson Schwesinger · LB · rank 139
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, running back and other spots to take Carson Schwesinger, a linebacker that was not the priority.
R4.4 · Pick 105 · DeMonte Capehart · DT · rank 157
They left a pile of value on the table to take DeMonte Capehart this early at the Round 4 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.16 · Pick 117 · Jaeden Roberts · OG · rank 162
Jaeden Roberts at pick 117 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.20 · Pick 121 · Gabe Jacas · LB-EDGE · rank 279
Gabe Jacas in the 121st pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.1 · Pick 138 · Davison Igbinosun · CB · rank 221
A wild overpay on Davison Igbinosun in Round 5, Pick 1, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R5.6 · Pick 143 · Will Lee III · CB · rank 241
Will Lee III at pick No. 143 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R5.26 · Pick 163 · Nohl Williams · CB · rank 248
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nohl Williams. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R7.1 · Pick 217 · Jalen Rivers · OT · rank 323
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jalen Rivers in No. 217, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Jonah Monheim · C · rank 213
A clean, defensible pick in the 220th overall pick with a little surplus value in Jonah Monheim. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.25 · Pick 241 · Traeshon Holden · WR · rank 375
They reached into another round for Traeshon Holden, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
