The tape said wait; the Patriots did not. Bub Means went at the 193rd overall pick, a good 52 picks before the board was ready. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Jones pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · Joe Alt · OT · rank 3
In the 11th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback, outstanding value to boot.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Adonai Mitchell · WR · rank 31
Adonai Mitchell at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 66
No drama and no debate, Kiran Amegadjie went about where he belonged in slot 68. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Spencer Rattler · QB · rank 118
They went early on Spencer Rattler in pick No. 103, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Theo Johnson · TE · rank 123
Theo Johnson at Round 4, Pick 8 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
R4.29 · Pick 129 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 116
Elijah Jones slid further than he should have, and No. 129 is lovely value for the cornerback. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R5.8 · Pick 144 · Justin Eboigbe · DL-EDGE · rank 148
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Justin Eboigbe. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.5 · Pick 180 · Garret Greenfield · OT · rank 216
A real head-scratcher, Garret Greenfield in No. 180 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.18 · Pick 193 · Bub Means · WR · rank 245
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Bub Means well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.11 · Pick 231 · Andrew Raym · C · rank 239
Andrew Raym in the 231st pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
