Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Patriots came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Smith pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher. The Smith steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.5 · Pick 5 · Malik Nabers · WR · rank 4
In pick No. 5 they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 40
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Guyton at the 34th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 34
A tidy little value on Kamren Kinchens in pick 37, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Ricky Pearsall · WR · rank 71
They paid sticker price for Ricky Pearsall in No. 69, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Maason Smith · DT-EDGE · rank 87
A want over a need in slot 100: Maason Smith adds a DT-EDGE while edge rusher keeps waiting.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Spencer Rattler · QB · rank 91
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with Spencer Rattler worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 127
Tommy Eichenberg in the 139th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 143
No edge and no loss on Ben Sinnott in Round 5, Pick 5; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.7 · Pick 182 · Jordan Jefferson · DT · rank 181
Jordan Jefferson in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.4 · Pick 224 · Jase McClellan · RB · rank 217
Good price on Jase McClellan in No. 224, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.12 · Pick 232 · Sheridan Jones · CB · rank 221
A tidy bit of business in Round 7, Pick 12, where Sheridan Jones graded well above the range. A minor itch, scratched.
