Thirty-one other rooms let Keon Coleman slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at the 68th pick. Highway robbery. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. If Gore Jr. pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Dallas Turner · LB-EDGE · rank 14
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · J.J. McCarthy · QB · rank 46
They liked J.J. McCarthy enough to skip the value, taking him in the 34th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R2.22 · Pick 54 · Jermaine Burton · WR · rank 52
By-the-book stuff, Jermaine Burton at slot 54 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 36
Keon Coleman at pick 68 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.22 · Pick 85 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 59
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in Round 3, Pick 22, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 91
A straight-up fair deal on Dominick Puni at No. 88, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · DJ James · CB · rank 87
A quiet steal in the 104th overall pick: DJ James for less than the market said. A minor itch, scratched.
R4.6 · Pick 106 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 109
No drama and no debate, Braelon Allen went about where he belonged in pick No. 106. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Mohamed Kamara · DL-EDGE · rank 130
They took Mohamed Kamara at par in No. 127, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Roger Rosengarten · OT · rank 146
A reach on Roger Rosengarten in pick No. 135; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.36 · Pick 136 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 128
They let Johnny Wilson come to them and pounced at pick 136. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.7 · Pick 182 · M.J. Devonshire · CB · rank 182
They paid sticker price for M.J. Devonshire in the 182nd overall pick, and that is fine. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R6.33 · Pick 208 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 224
A premium they did not need to pay, Frank Gore Jr. a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Brevyn Spann-Ford · TE · rank 239
They went early on Brevyn Spann-Ford in Round 7, Pick 3, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.9 · Pick 229 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 218
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Michael Barrett in slot 229. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
