New England Patriots

Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Patriots.

The Patriots clearly saw something nobody else did in Jalen Rivers, taking him 101 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Campbell falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.4 · Pick 4 · Abdul Carter · DE-EDGE · rank 7
In No. 4 they get a disruptor off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Malaki Starks · S · rank 18
Malaki Starks in the 38th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 44
They barely believed it either: Tyler Warren still on the board at slot 69. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.17 · Pick 81 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 40
Jihaad Campbell in pick 81 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R4.4 · Pick 105 · Emery Jones Jr. · OT · rank 177
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Emery Jones Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.22 · Pick 123 · Blake Miller · OT · rank 152
A real head-scratcher, Blake Miller in the 123rd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
R5.6 · Pick 143 · Davison Igbinosun · CB · rank 220
Davison Igbinosun at Round 5, Pick 6 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R6.15 · Pick 190 · Nick Nash · WR · rank 247
Nick Nash in pick No. 190 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.1 · Pick 217 · Nohl Williams · CB · rank 246
Nohl Williams at pick 217 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Jalen Rivers · OT · rank 321
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen Rivers this early at the Round 7 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.25 · Pick 241 · RJ Harvey · RB · rank 308
RJ Harvey in slot 241 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
