The rest of the league had time to spare on Nick Nash; the Patriots did not wait, grabbing him 111 spots ahead at the 142nd pick.

The Gordon II pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Jonah Savaiinaea · OT · rank 37
They reached into another round for Jonah Savaiinaea, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Tyler Booker · OG · rank 38
Tyler Booker at pick 39 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 28
Nice patience on Jalon Walker, who had no business lasting to No. 40. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Nick Emmanwori · S · rank 19
Nick Emmanwori in the Round 2 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Deone Walker · DT · rank 71
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Deone Walker. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Ajani Cornelius · OT · rank 106
Ajani Cornelius at slot 78 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.6 · Pick 107 · Xavier Nwankpa · S · rank 195
A real head-scratcher, Xavier Nwankpa in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.4 · Pick 142 · Nick Nash · QB · rank 253
Nick Nash in pick No. 142 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.5 · Pick 219 · Clay Webb · OG · rank 220
Clay Webb in the 219th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
R7.8 · Pick 222 · Jonah Monheim · C · rank 214
Jonah Monheim slipping to pick 222 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.22 · Pick 236 · Ollie Gordon II · RB · rank 167
A running back of that caliber at the 236th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
