Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Patriots were there to profit. Nicholas Singleton, the No. 100 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 241. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

The Griffith pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.6 · Pick 6 · Kelvin Banks Jr. · OT · rank 3
In No. 6 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 22
A tidy bit of business in slot 38, where Jalon Walker graded well above the range. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 44
Tyler Warren at pick 78 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
R4.4 · Pick 105 · Andrew Mukuba · S · rank 71
Circle this one: Andrew Mukuba at the Round 4 slot is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.20 · Pick 157 · Jaeden Roberts · OG · rank 160
They paid sticker price for Jaeden Roberts in the 157th pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 113
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Cam Skattebo in pick No. 179, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Kobe King · LB · rank 125
They barely believed it either: Kobe King still on the board at the 216th overall pick. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R7.1 · Pick 217 · Davison Igbinosun · CB · rank 219
Davison Igbinosun in Round 7, Pick 1 is fair value, right on his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Thor Griffith · DL · rank 274
They left a pile of value on the table to take Thor Griffith this early at the 220th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.20 · Pick 236 · Terrance Ferguson · TE · rank 215
They will replay Terrance Ferguson at Round 7, Pick 20 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.25 · Pick 241 · Nicholas Singleton · RB · rank 100
Nicholas Singleton in No. 241 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
