New England Patriots

The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Singleton: C+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Nicholas Singleton, the Round 7 slot, roughly 119 picks past where he belonged. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

The cost of the Monheim reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.4 · Pick 4 · Josh Simmons · OT · rank 22
In pick 4 they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Nick Emmanwori · S · rank 17
Steal is underselling it; Nick Emmanwori at the 35th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Isaiah Bond · WR · rank 32
A clean, defensible pick in the 36th overall pick with a little surplus value in Isaiah Bond. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Colston Loveland · TE · rank 46
The board fumbled Colston Loveland all the way to pick No. 67, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.15 · Pick 79 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 40
They robbed the room for Jihaad Campbell here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R4.2 · Pick 103 · Dylan Sampson · RB · rank 43
Dylan Sampson at Round 4, Pick 2 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.1 · Pick 138 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 86
Danny Stutsman in slot 138 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R5.16 · Pick 153 · Jonah Monheim · C · rank 212
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jonah Monheim this early at the Round 5 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.3 · Pick 219 · Nicholas Singleton · RB · rank 100
Taking Nicholas Singleton in the 219th pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Jay Higgins · LB · rank 122
Jay Higgins in slot 220 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Thor Griffith · DL · rank 277
Thor Griffith at Round 7, Pick 22 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
