Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Noel: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jaylin Noel had no business being available in Round 5, Pick 6, and the Patriots did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.4 · Pick 4 · Will Campbell · OT · rank 11
They paid sticker price for Will Campbell in No. 4, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Walter Nolen · DT · rank 19
Walter Nolen at Round 2, Pick 6 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · JT Tuimoloau · DE-EDGE · rank 49
A edge rusher of that caliber at pick 69 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.26 · Pick 90 · Darien Porter · CB · rank 75
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Darien Porter at pick No. 90 is the proof. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R4.4 · Pick 106 · Jake Majors · C · rank 102
A clean, defensible pick in slot 106 with a little surplus value in Jake Majors. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.20 · Pick 122 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 100
They robbed the room for Cam Skattebo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.6 · Pick 144 · Jaylin Noel · WR · rank 96
The board fumbled Jaylin Noel all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.32 · Pick 208 · Jack Kiser · LB · rank 176
Circle this one: Jack Kiser at the 208th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R7.1 · Pick 217 · Jaylen Reed · S · rank 183
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Jaylen Reed in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · KeAndre Lambert-Smith · WR · rank 186
KeAndre Lambert-Smith in the 220th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Carson Vinson · OT · rank 218
Steal is underselling it; Carson Vinson at the 238th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
