You build a draft on nights like this. Kalel Mullings had no business being available in the Round 7 slot, and the Patriots did the only sane thing and turned in the card. The final tally is a middling C+.

The Capehart reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Hit on Tetairoa McMillan and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.9 · Pick 9 · Tetairoa McMillan · WR · rank 5
In the 9th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Tate Ratledge · OG · rank 31
Tate Ratledge at pick No. 36 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Benjamin Morrison · CB · rank 47
Benjamin Morrison at the 37th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Jack Nelson · OT · rank 118
Jack Nelson at the Round 3 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.19 · Pick 83 · Malachi Moore · S · rank 72
A quiet steal in Round 3, Pick 19: Malachi Moore for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.2 · Pick 103 · DeMonte Capehart · DT · rank 156
DeMonte Capehart in pick 103 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.1 · Pick 138 · Quinshon Judkins · RB · rank 73
Somehow Quinshon Judkins was still sitting there in No. 138, and they pounced on premier running back value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.18 · Pick 155 · Jake Majors · C · rank 93
Jake Majors at slot 155 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.3 · Pick 219 · Kalel Mullings · RB · rank 108
The board fumbled Kalel Mullings all the way to No. 219, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Addison West · OG · rank 187
Addison West in the 220th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Jack Kiser · LB · rank 192
They will replay Jack Kiser at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
