New England Patriots

The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Stutsman: B+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Danny Stutsman got past him. The Patriots do not have to explain a thing at the 221st overall pick. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

Nash has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.13 · Pick 13 · Josh Simmons · OT · rank 22
Josh Simmons at slot 13 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Shemar Stewart · DL-EDGE · rank 51
The board had cheaper options than Shemar Stewart at Round 2, Pick 7, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Luke Kandra · OG · rank 111
Luke Kandra at the 70th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.20 · Pick 84 · Emery Jones Jr. · OT · rank 179
A wild overpay on Emery Jones Jr. in pick 84, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.5 · Pick 106 · Tez Johnson · WR · rank 96
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tez Johnson at pick No. 106 is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.19 · Pick 120 · Nick Nash · QB · rank 251
They talked themselves into Nick Nash at the 120th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.3 · Pick 141 · Nohl Williams · CB · rank 250
Nohl Williams in No. 141 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R7.7 · Pick 221 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 89
The board fumbled Danny Stutsman all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R7.9 · Pick 223 · Michael Taaffe · S · rank 150
Michael Taaffe in Round 7, Pick 9 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.21 · Pick 235 · Seth McLaughlin · C · rank 210
Seth McLaughlin at slot 235 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
R7.38 · Pick 252 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 184
You do not let a running back like Cam Skattebo reach the 252nd overall pick and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
