New England Patriots

The Patriots worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

The Patriots torched the value chart for Hayden Conner, taking him 65 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

The Phillips value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Adonai Mitchell pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.14 · Pick 14 · Matthew Golden · WR · rank 12
In the 14th pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 16
A tight end of that caliber at Round 2, Pick 6 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Aireontae Ersery · OT · rank 48
Aireontae Ersery in the 44th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Ozzy Trapilo · OT · rank 85
Ozzy Trapilo at pick No. 69 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Jared Ivey · DE-EDGE · rank 77
Jared Ivey at pick 76 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Quinshon Judkins · RB · rank 66
Quinshon Judkins slid further than he should have, and No. 77 is lovely value for the running back. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.16 · Pick 80 · Isaiah Bond · WR · rank 75
Isaiah Bond in the Round 3 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.4 · Pick 105 · Smael Mondon Jr. · LB · rank 108
No edge and no loss on Smael Mondon Jr. in slot 105; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R5.6 · Pick 145 · Hayden Conner · OG · rank 210
Hayden Conner at pick No. 145 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.11 · Pick 150 · Ajani Cornelius · OT · rank 166
A premium they did not need to pay, Ajani Cornelius a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
R5.13 · Pick 152 · Jordan Phillips · DT · rank 109
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Jordan Phillips in the 152nd overall pick, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.1 · Pick 219 · Alex Mastromanno · P · rank 211
A quiet steal in No. 219: Alex Mastromanno for less than the market said. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R7.2 · Pick 220 · Gino Garcia · PK · rank 280
They reached a country mile for Gino Garcia at the 220th pick, and the board is aghast. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
