The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named interior defensive lineman, a need the Patriots walked right past.

That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Every board in the league had Rattler lower, and that gap is the story.

In the end it comes back to Rome Odunze, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.9 · Pick 9 · Rome Odunze · WR · rank 10
In pick No. 9 they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 21
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Troy Fautanu at the Round 2 slot is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Bralen Trice · DE-EDGE · rank 63
Nothing to complain about; Bralen Trice went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 64
They did well to land Kamren Kinchens in slot 69, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 96
Good price on Brenden Rice in pick 103, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Spencer Rattler · QB · rank 117
Spencer Rattler at Round 4, Pick 5 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.22 · Pick 122 · Theo Johnson · TE · rank 122
By-the-book stuff, Theo Johnson at No. 122 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 136
No drama and no debate, Jarrian Jones went about where he belonged in pick 137. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R6.5 · Pick 180 · Marist Liufau · LB · rank 165
Nice patience on Marist Liufau, who had no business lasting to the 180th pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R6.18 · Pick 193 · Ryan Flournoy · WR · rank 205
They paid up for Ryan Flournoy at pick No. 193 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 229
Frank Gore Jr. in Round 7, Pick 5 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.11 · Pick 231 · Caedan Wallace · OT · rank 213
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Caedan Wallace in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
