New England Patriots

The Patriots let Hart fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Cam Hart, the No. 137 name on the board, stolen at Round 6, Pick 7. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Adding Asante Samuel Jr. by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.19 · Pick 19 · Olumuyiwa Fashanu · OT · rank 10
In pick 19 they get protection for the quarterback, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 26
Jordan Morgan is a better player than Round 2, Pick 2 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Bralen Trice · DE-EDGE · rank 37
Bralen Trice at No. 37 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.19 · Pick 51 · Jermaine Burton · WR · rank 49
A straight-up fair deal on Jermaine Burton at the 51st pick, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 50
Graham Barton in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.19 · Pick 83 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 74
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 83, where Johnny Wilson graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Jacob Cowing · WR · rank 99
Fair-plus on Jacob Cowing, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · James Williams · S · rank 134
James Williams at slot 139 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.7 · Pick 182 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 137
Somehow Cam Hart was still sitting there in the 182nd pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A minor itch, scratched.
R7.4 · Pick 224 · Brevyn Spann-Ford · TE · rank 224
They paid sticker price for Brevyn Spann-Ford in the Round 7 slot, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.12 · Pick 232 · Blake Watson · RB · rank 226
Nothing to complain about; Blake Watson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
