Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Patriots, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Every board in the league had McCarthy lower, and that gap is the story.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.15 · Pick 15 · JC Latham · OT · rank 18
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector at fair value.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · J.J. McCarthy · QB · rank 43
A conviction pick on J.J. McCarthy at pick 34 that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R2.14 · Pick 46 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 47
No edge and no loss on Patrick Paul in Round 2, Pick 14; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 69
Brenden Rice at pick No. 68 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.18 · Pick 82 · Roman Wilson · WR · rank 82
By-the-book stuff, Roman Wilson at the 82nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 105
They paid sticker price for Khyree Jackson in No. 103, and that is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 143
They took Ben Sinnott at par in slot 139, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.7 · Pick 182 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 183
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Michael Barrett. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R7.4 · Pick 224 · J.J. Weaver · LB-EDGE · rank 228
J.J. Weaver in slot 224 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.12 · Pick 232 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 240
Nathaniel Watson at the Round 7 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
