The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Patriots watched Cam Skattebo slide 38 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.
They are betting Pierce proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 4 they get a double-digit-sack hope. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Tyler Warren in pick No. 38 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Alfred Collins slipping to No. 69 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Hollin Pierce in the 84th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Circle this one: Andrew Mukuba at the Round 4 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
They robbed the room for Cam Skattebo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
