New England Patriots

The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Mullings: B-.

Future A+

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Kalel Mullings got past him. The Patriots do not have to explain a thing at the Round 7 slot. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The cost of the Stowers reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

The Patriots indulged a want in Campbell while a need in wide receiver, interior defensive lineman and other spots stayed open. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.14 · Pick 14 · Abdul Carter · DE · rank 8
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 1 slot with a little surplus value in Abdul Carter. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.13 · Pick 45 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 27
Jalon Walker in the 45th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Xavier Watts · S · rank 49
The board fumbled Xavier Watts all the way to Round 3, Pick 7, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Donovan Jackson · OG · rank 90
They jumped the gun on Donovan Jackson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
R3.17 · Pick 81 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 40
A want over a need in pick 81: Jihaad Campbell adds a linebacker while wide receiver, interior defensive lineman and other spots keeps waiting.
R4.6 · Pick 107 · Jordan Burch · DE · rank 117
Jordan Burch in pick No. 107 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.4 · Pick 142 · Eli Stowers · TE · rank 176
Eli Stowers in the 142nd overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.5 · Pick 219 · Kalel Mullings · RB · rank 115
They will replay Kalel Mullings at slot 219 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.8 · Pick 222 · Jonah Monheim · C · rank 219
Jonah Monheim at slot 222 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
R7.22 · Pick 236 · Bryce Foster · C · rank 204
Bryce Foster at the 236th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
