New England Patriots

Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Patriots.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Patriots spent No. 106 on Nick Nash, a name most had 147 spots down the list.

That Campbell pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Tetairoa McMillan · WR · rank 6
In slot 12 they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Tyler Booker · OG · rank 37
Tyler Booker at Round 2, Pick 7 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Donovan Ezeiruaku · DE-EDGE · rank 76
A big swing on Donovan Ezeiruaku at pick 43, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Harold Fannin Jr. · TE · rank 35
The board fumbled Harold Fannin Jr. all the way to the 70th pick, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.15 · Pick 79 · Deone Walker · DT · rank 70
Deone Walker slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.16 · Pick 80 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 40
Jihaad Campbell in the 80th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor itch, scratched.
R4.5 · Pick 106 · Nick Nash · QB · rank 253
Value said wait; Nick Nash in slot 106 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.14 · Pick 115 · Maxwell Hairston · CB · rank 100
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Maxwell Hairston in Round 4, Pick 14. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R5.3 · Pick 141 · Nohl Williams · CB · rank 252
A wild overpay on Nohl Williams in the 141st overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R7.7 · Pick 221 · Seth McLaughlin · C · rank 212
They let Seth McLaughlin come to them and pounced at the Round 7 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.9 · Pick 223 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 186
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 223 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
R7.21 · Pick 235 · RJ Harvey · RB · rank 319
RJ Harvey at the 235th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
