Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Anthony Belton at Round 3, Pick 33 is 149 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

Giddens at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. It is not that Schwesinger is a bad player; it is that the Patriots had louder needs to answer first.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.5 · Pick 37 · Armand Membou · OT · rank 65
They left a pile of value on the table to take Armand Membou this early at pick 37. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Malaki Starks · S · rank 17
Malaki Starks at No. 38 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 38
Steal is underselling it; Jihaad Campbell at the Round 2 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 43
They will replay Tyler Warren at the 66th pick for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Tyleik Williams · DT · rank 53
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyleik Williams in slot 69. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Deone Walker · DT · rank 68
Deone Walker is a better player than the 77th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.33 · Pick 97 · Anthony Belton · OT · rank 246
A wild overpay on Anthony Belton in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.3 · Pick 104 · Carson Schwesinger · LB · rank 124
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Carson Schwesinger at linebacker with edge rusher and quarterback open.
R4.15 · Pick 116 · Davison Igbinosun · CB · rank 213
They talked themselves into Davison Igbinosun at the 116th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A minor itch, scratched.
R5.6 · Pick 143 · Ja'Corey Brooks · WR · rank 192
Ja'Corey Brooks in the 143rd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.3 · Pick 178 · Nick Nash · WR · rank 240
They reached into another round for Nick Nash, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Jalen Rivers · OT · rank 314
Jalen Rivers at No. 216 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
R7.1 · Pick 217 · Nohl Williams · CB · rank 241
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nohl Williams. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · DJ Giddens · RB · rank 161
DJ Giddens at pick 220 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Nick Martin · LB · rank 234
A reasonable price with a little left over, Nick Martin in pick No. 238. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
