Call it larceny. Miller Moss sat on the board until Round 5, Pick 6, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. The cost of the Henderson reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the safety spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · Kelvin Banks Jr. · OT · rank 6
In the 11th pick they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
R1.20 · Pick 20 · James Pearce Jr. · DE-EDGE · rank 25
In No. 20 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Deone Walker · DT · rank 36
No drama and no debate, Deone Walker went about where he belonged in pick 36. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Colston Loveland · TE · rank 57
Colston Loveland slipping to the 67th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.29 · Pick 93 · Emery Jones Jr. · OT · rank 72
Emery Jones Jr. in Round 3, Pick 29 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.2 · Pick 103 · Jabbar Muhammad · CB · rank 113
They liked Jabbar Muhammad enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 4 slot. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R5.1 · Pick 139 · Bear Alexander · DT · rank 146
They took Bear Alexander at par in pick No. 139, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.6 · Pick 144 · Miller Moss · QB · rank 94
Miller Moss at slot 144 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.3 · Pick 217 · Deion Burks · WR · rank 218
Deion Burks at the 217th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.6 · Pick 220 · Jason Henderson · LB · rank 248
A wild overpay on Jason Henderson in slot 220, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R7.21 · Pick 235 · Damien Martinez · RB · rank 223
Damien Martinez at the Round 7 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
