New England Patriots

A solid, sensible weekend for the Patriots: B-.

The Patriots torched the value chart for Emery Jones Jr., taking him 104 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Carter. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Will Campbell · OT · rank 16
In pick No. 12 they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Malaki Starks · S · rank 20
Malaki Starks in No. 39 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Donovan Jackson · OT · rank 88
Value said wait; Donovan Jackson in Round 2, Pick 21 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Deone Walker · DT · rank 71
They paid sticker price for Deone Walker in the 70th pick, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.15 · Pick 79 · Emery Jones Jr. · OT · rank 183
Emery Jones Jr. at slot 79 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.16 · Pick 80 · Colston Loveland · TE · rank 48
Taking Colston Loveland in the 80th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.20 · Pick 84 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 89
They took Danny Stutsman at par in No. 84, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R4.5 · Pick 106 · Jack Bech · WR · rank 96
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jack Bech at the 106th pick is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.14 · Pick 115 · Jason Marshall Jr. · CB · rank 136
They reached a country mile for Jason Marshall Jr. at the 115th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R5.3 · Pick 141 · Barrett Carter · LB · rank 85
They barely believed it either: Barrett Carter still on the board at pick 141. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R6.3 · Pick 178 · Ollie Gordon II · RB · rank 168
Nice patience on Ollie Gordon II, who had no business lasting to the Round 6 slot. It fills a real need, too.
R7.7 · Pick 221 · Seth McLaughlin · C · rank 213
Seth McLaughlin is a better player than pick No. 221 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.9 · Pick 223 · Jonah Monheim · C · rank 216
Nothing to complain about; Jonah Monheim went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.21 · Pick 235 · Davison Igbinosun · CB · rank 223
A slide stopped in slot 235, with Davison Igbinosun worth more than the price. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
