Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Patriots were there to profit. Jack Endries, the No. 121 name on the board, should have been long gone before Round 5, Pick 31.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. If Crownover pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.31 · Pick 31 · KC Concepcion · WR · rank 27
In slot 31 they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Emmanuel Pregnon · OG · rank 39
They barely believed it either: Emmanuel Pregnon still on the board at the Round 2 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.31 · Pick 95 · Germie Bernard · WR · rank 58
They will replay Germie Bernard at pick 95 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Tyreak Sapp · DE-EDGE · rank 134
They liked Tyreak Sapp enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 4, Pick 25. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.31 · Pick 131 · Dametrious Crownover · OT · rank 144
A reach on Dametrious Crownover in No. 131; the board had better options right there. The roster fit checks out.
R5.31 · Pick 171 · Jack Endries · TE · rank 121
Jack Endries at pick No. 171 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.10 · Pick 191 · Zane Durant · DT · rank 179
Zane Durant in the 191st overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.17 · Pick 198 · Jeff Caldwell · WR · rank 189
The board had Jeff Caldwell higher than the 198th pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.21 · Pick 202 · Ephesians Prysock · CB · rank 190
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ephesians Prysock in the 202nd pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R6.31 · Pick 212 · Dalton Johnson · S · rank 205
Nothing to complain about; Dalton Johnson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.31 · Pick 247 · Josh Cuevas · TE · rank 245
They took Josh Cuevas at par in pick No. 247, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
