The Patriots spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Dwight McGlothern, the No. 161 name on the board, in the 193rd pick.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.7 · Pick 7 · Joe Alt · OT · rank 3
In pick No. 7 they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Adonai Mitchell · WR · rank 32
By-the-book stuff, Adonai Mitchell at the 34th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · J.J. McCarthy · QB · rank 29
They let J.J. McCarthy come to them and pounced at Round 2, Pick 6. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Roman Wilson · WR · rank 44
Roman Wilson in slot 68 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 107
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Braelon Allen. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Anthony Gould · WR · rank 142
Anthony Gould in No. 137 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.5 · Pick 180 · Walter Rouse · OT · rank 163
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Walter Rouse in pick 180. It fills a real need, too.
R6.18 · Pick 193 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 161
Dwight McGlothern at the 193rd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R7.1 · Pick 221 · Trey Knox · TE · rank 223
They paid sticker price for Trey Knox in slot 221, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.11 · Pick 231 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 212
Nathaniel Watson at pick 231 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
