New England Patriots

The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Marks: B+.

Future B

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Woody Marks, the Round 7 slot, roughly 38 picks past where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. The Skattebo reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Nick Emmanwori · S · rank 20
In the Round 1 slot they get an enforcer at safety. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 22
Jalon Walker at the 38th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Alfred Collins · DT · rank 57
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Alfred Collins at Round 3, Pick 2. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Harold Fannin Jr. · TE · rank 54
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Harold Fannin Jr. in pick No. 69. The roster fit checks out.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Maxwell Hairston · CB · rank 76
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Maxwell Hairston. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.25 · Pick 89 · Ozzy Trapilo · OT · rank 89
A straight-up fair deal on Ozzy Trapilo at No. 89, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.31 · Pick 95 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 104
They liked Cam Skattebo enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 95. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.4 · Pick 105 · Malachi Moore · S · rank 93
Malachi Moore at pick 105 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.6 · Pick 145 · Joshua Farmer · DT · rank 122
Joshua Farmer at slot 145 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.1 · Pick 219 · Woody Marks · RB · rank 181
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Woody Marks in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.4 · Pick 222 · Jack Kiser · LB · rank 196
Jack Kiser at pick No. 222 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
