New England Patriots

Neal should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a D.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Patriots shredded theirs for Emery Jones Jr.. He came off 78 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Put together, it is a D.

However the rest shakes out, Neal at that price is a win they earned. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, interior defensive lineman very much included.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.8 · Pick 8 · Tetairoa McMillan · WR · rank 6
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R1.14 · Pick 14 · James Pearce Jr. · DE-EDGE · rank 19
In slot 14 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Aireontae Ersery · OT · rank 82
They left a pile of value on the table to take Aireontae Ersery this early at the Round 2 slot. The roster fit checks out.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Denzel Burke · CB · rank 73
Value said wait; Denzel Burke in pick 44 says they were not listening. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.8 · Pick 72 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 59
Tyler Warren slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Mykel Williams · DE-EDGE · rank 147
Mykel Williams at Round 3, Pick 12 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.36 · Pick 100 · Jake Majors · C · rank 66
Jake Majors in pick No. 100 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.7 · Pick 108 · Emery Jones Jr. · OT · rank 186
Emery Jones Jr. in pick 108 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.13 · Pick 114 · Jaeden Roberts · OG · rank 140
A big swing on Jaeden Roberts at No. 114, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.6 · Pick 144 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 91
Taking Danny Stutsman in the 144th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R6.10 · Pick 185 · Quinshon Judkins · RB · rank 83
You do not let a running back like Quinshon Judkins reach the 185th pick and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.34 · Pick 209 · Devin Neal · RB · rank 89
The board fumbled Devin Neal all the way to slot 209, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.4 · Pick 218 · Barrett Carter · LB · rank 165
Barrett Carter at pick No. 218 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R7.6 · Pick 220 · Rod Moore · S · rank 196
A safety of that caliber at pick 220 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.22 · Pick 236 · Oscar Delp · TE · rank 244
They went early on Oscar Delp in slot 236, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
