The Patriots looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Trey Moore at slot 131 regardless, 47 picks early.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Igbinosun at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.31 · Pick 31 · Zion Young · DE-EDGE · rank 42
In the 31st pick they get a premier pass rusher, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R3.28 · Pick 92 · Zakee Wheatley · S · rank 85
A clean, defensible pick in No. 92 with a little surplus value in Zakee Wheatley. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.31 · Pick 95 · Ja'Kobi Lane · WR · rank 98
They paid sticker price for Ja'Kobi Lane in Round 3, Pick 31, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Jack Endries · TE · rank 121
Jack Endries at slot 112 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Davison Igbinosun · CB · rank 113
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Davison Igbinosun at the Round 4 slot. A minor itch, scratched.
R4.31 · Pick 131 · Trey Moore · LB-EDGE · rank 178
Trey Moore at pick No. 131 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.31 · Pick 171 · Ar'maj Reed-Adams · OG · rank 169
By-the-book stuff, Ar'maj Reed-Adams at the 171st overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.10 · Pick 191 · Josh Cameron · WR · rank 184
Nothing to complain about; Josh Cameron went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.17 · Pick 198 · Ephesians Prysock · CB · rank 187
A tidy bit of business in pick 198, where Ephesians Prysock graded well above the range. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R6.21 · Pick 202 · Bobby Jamison-Travis · DT · rank 207
No edge and no loss on Bobby Jamison-Travis in Round 6, Pick 21; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.31 · Pick 212 · Jack Kelly · LB · rank 253
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jack Kelly in the 212th pick, miles early. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R7.31 · Pick 247 · Adam Randall · RB · rank 276
Adam Randall in pick No. 247 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
