If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Patriots, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

They are betting Beebe proves the room right and everyone else wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.14 · Pick 14 · Taliese Fuaga · OT · rank 17
No drama and no debate, Taliese Fuaga went about where he belonged in the Round 1 slot. It fills a real need, too.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 37
Chop Robinson in pick 34 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · T'Vondre Sweat · DL · rank 57
They left a pile of value on the table to take T'Vondre Sweat this early at Round 2, Pick 5. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 63
A reach for Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 53rd overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 73
Johnny Wilson in the 68th pick is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 82
Brenden Rice at pick No. 69 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.22 · Pick 85 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 111
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cooper Beebe. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Blake Fisher · OT · rank 106
No edge and no loss on Blake Fisher in No. 103; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.36 · Pick 136 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 155
They talked themselves into Darius Robinson at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 157
Ben Sinnott at Round 5, Pick 3 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.7 · Pick 182 · AJ Barner · TE · rank 184
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on AJ Barner. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.4 · Pick 224 · Jabbar Muhammad · CB · rank 227
By-the-book stuff, Jabbar Muhammad at pick No. 224 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
