New England Patriots

The Patriots let Zvada fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Dominic Zvada slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at slot 216. Highway robbery.

The Hamilton reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

The trade work was a quiet net positive.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.6 · Pick 6 · Will Campbell · OT · rank 15
In the 6th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line, even if it was a touch early.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 22
Jalon Walker in pick 37 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Matthew Golden · WR · rank 44
A straight-up fair deal on Matthew Golden at No. 38, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Gunnar Helm · TE · rank 70
No drama and no debate, Gunnar Helm went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 5. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.20 · Pick 84 · Azareye'h Thomas · CB · rank 98
They paid a round early for Azareye'h Thomas in the Round 3 slot, more than the board wanted. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R4.3 · Pick 104 · Kevin Winston Jr. · S · rank 91
They read the board right and Kevin Winston Jr. was the payoff at pick No. 104. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.18 · Pick 119 · Quinshon Judkins · RB · rank 73
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Quinshon Judkins in the 119th overall pick, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.6 · Pick 143 · Jake Majors · C · rank 92
Jake Majors in slot 143 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.3 · Pick 178 · Ty Hamilton · DT · rank 207
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ty Hamilton well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Dominic Zvada · PK · rank 95
Steal is underselling it; Dominic Zvada at No. 216 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R7.1 · Pick 217 · Kobe King · LB · rank 124
Somehow Kobe King was still sitting there in the 217th overall pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Clay Webb · OG · rank 218
Clay Webb in Round 7, Pick 4 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
R7.19 · Pick 235 · Bryson Nesbit · TE · rank 246
Bryson Nesbit at pick 235 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Raheim Sanders · RB · rank 145
They robbed the room for Raheim Sanders here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
