For all the boxes ticked, the Patriots skipped the loudest one: edge rusher is exactly as bare as it was. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
On value alone, Egbuka makes the weekend a net positive. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick-by-Pick
They took Ashton Jeanty at par in Round 1, Pick 4, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
They let Emeka Egbuka come to them and pounced at pick No. 38. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
