New England Patriots

The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Moss: A.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Patriots watched Le'Veon Moss slide 75 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A to cap it.

The cost of the Slackman reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.17 · Pick 17 · Abdul Carter · DE-EDGE · rank 7
In pick 17 they get a double-digit-sack hope at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Tre Harris · WR · rank 26
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tre Harris in slot 38. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Tyler Booker · OG · rank 37
Tyler Booker slipping to No. 49 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Donovan Jackson · OT · rank 84
They liked Donovan Jackson enough to skip the value, taking him in the 69th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Malachi Moore · S · rank 72
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 77 with a little surplus value in Malachi Moore. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.3 · Pick 104 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 60
TreVeyon Henderson in Round 4, Pick 3 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.16 · Pick 117 · Tory Horton · WR · rank 101
The board had Tory Horton higher than the 117th pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.6 · Pick 143 · Jake Majors · C · rank 92
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Majors reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.1 · Pick 217 · Joey Slackman · DL · rank 275
They left a pile of value on the table to take Joey Slackman this early at No. 217. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Le'Veon Moss · RB · rank 145
Le'Veon Moss in the 220th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Nick Martin · LB · rank 235
Nothing to complain about; Nick Martin went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
