A sensible, unshowy class lands the Patriots a B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Patriots did exactly that with Mykel Williams in the Round 2 slot. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Gordon II. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.30 · Pick 30 · Aireontae Ersery · OT · rank 84
In slot 30 they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection.
R2.14 · Pick 46 · Malaki Starks · S · rank 19
Somehow Malaki Starks was still sitting there in No. 46, and they pounced on premier safety value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.22 · Pick 54 · Isaiah Bond · WR · rank 35
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Isaiah Bond in the 54th overall pick, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · Mykel Williams · DE-EDGE · rank 154
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Mykel Williams well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.8 · Pick 72 · Deone Walker · DT · rank 128
A big swing on Deone Walker at the Round 3 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.22 · Pick 86 · Donovan Jackson · OG · rank 175
Donovan Jackson at pick 86 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.7 · Pick 108 · Jabbar Muhammad · CB · rank 116
A reach on Jabbar Muhammad in Round 4, Pick 7; the board had better options right there. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R4.20 · Pick 121 · Emery Jones Jr. · OT · rank 193
Emery Jones Jr. at the 121st pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.6 · Pick 144 · Deontae Lawson · LB · rank 92
Deontae Lawson in pick 144 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R5.14 · Pick 152 · Bear Alexander · DT · rank 157
Bear Alexander at No. 152 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.4 · Pick 218 · Ollie Gordon II · RB · rank 149
They robbed the room for Ollie Gordon II here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.9 · Pick 223 · Oscar Delp · TE · rank 252
A real head-scratcher, Oscar Delp in slot 223 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.25 · Pick 239 · Mason Taylor · TE · rank 285
They talked themselves into Mason Taylor at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
