Call it larceny. Mike Green sat on the board until the 191st overall pick, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A to show for it.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. Adding Matt Goncalves by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

In the end it comes back to Abdul Carter, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.15 · Pick 15 · Abdul Carter · DE · rank 10
In the 15th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Will Johnson · CB · rank 13
Will Johnson at the 36th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Omarion Hampton · RB · rank 15
Omarion Hampton at slot 47 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 46
They barely believed it either: Tyler Warren still on the board at Round 3, Pick 4. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.19 · Pick 83 · Shemar Stewart · DL · rank 50
Shemar Stewart in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.4 · Pick 105 · Jake Majors · C · rank 58
Jake Majors in pick 105 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
R4.15 · Pick 116 · Andrew Mukuba · S · rank 73
Taking Andrew Mukuba in pick No. 116 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.4 · Pick 142 · Deontae Lawson · LB · rank 86
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 142 is the definition of value, full stop. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R6.16 · Pick 191 · Mike Green · DE · rank 95
You do not let an edge rusher like Mike Green reach pick No. 191 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.6 · Pick 220 · Barrett Carter · LB · rank 173
Barrett Carter at the 220th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R7.9 · Pick 223 · Ollie Gordon II · RB · rank 151
The board fumbled Ollie Gordon II all the way to pick 223, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.27 · Pick 241 · Bryson Nesbit · TE · rank 229
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Bryson Nesbit at Round 7, Pick 27 is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
