Boards are made to be trusted, and the Patriots shredded theirs for Marvin Jones Jr.. He came off 205 spots early, and the room will hear about it. It washes out to a C, no better and no worse.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.31 · Pick 31 · Deion Burks · WR · rank 86
A big swing on Deion Burks at pick 31, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Gracen Halton · DL · rank 126
They talked themselves into Gracen Halton at slot 63, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.31 · Pick 95 · Owen Heinecke · LB · rank 238
This one needs a full-page explanation: Owen Heinecke in No. 95, miles early. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Febechi Nwaiwu · OG · rank 175
They reached into another round for Febechi Nwaiwu, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.31 · Pick 131 · Marvin Jones Jr. · LB-EDGE · rank 336
A wild overpay on Marvin Jones Jr. in the 131st overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.31 · Pick 171 · Jaydn Ott · RB · rank 239
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaydn Ott well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
R6.10 · Pick 191 · Robert Spears-Jennings · S · rank 231
A real head-scratcher, Robert Spears-Jennings in No. 191 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.17 · Pick 198 · Damonic Williams · DL · rank 350
Value said wait; Damonic Williams in the 198th overall pick says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.21 · Pick 202 · Jaren Kanak · TE · rank 227
Jaren Kanak at Round 6, Pick 21 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
R6.31 · Pick 212 · Jalil Farooq · WR · rank 337
Jalil Farooq in pick No. 212 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.31 · Pick 247 · Fa'alili Fa'amoe · OT · rank 246
Fa'alili Fa'amoe at pick 247 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
