New England Patriots

The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Smith: B.

Call it larceny. Brashard Smith sat on the board until pick No. 241, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

The Nesbit reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.4 · Pick 4 · Abdul Carter · DE-EDGE · rank 7
A straight-up fair deal on Abdul Carter at the 4th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Tetairoa McMillan · WR · rank 5
Circle this one: Tetairoa McMillan at Round 2, Pick 4 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Will Johnson · CB · rank 10
You do not let a cornerback like Will Johnson reach slot 38 and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Will Campbell · OT · rank 15
Will Campbell at pick 69 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 40
They robbed the room for Jihaad Campbell here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.28 · Pick 92 · Nicholas Singleton · RB · rank 99
By-the-book stuff, Nicholas Singleton at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.4 · Pick 105 · Omarr Norman-Lott · DT · rank 76
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at No. 105 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.6 · Pick 143 · Kevin Winston Jr. · S · rank 92
They barely believed it either: Kevin Winston Jr. still on the board at pick No. 143. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.1 · Pick 217 · Bryson Nesbit · TE · rank 241
They left a pile of value on the table to take Bryson Nesbit this early at No. 217. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Jeffrey Bassa · LB · rank 120
Taking Jeffrey Bassa in the 220th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R7.25 · Pick 241 · Brashard Smith · RB · rank 104
Brashard Smith at pick 241 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
