Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Patriots spent slot 143 on Trey Moore, a name most had 112 spots down the list. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Skattebo. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.1 · Pick 33 · Malaki Starks · S · rank 17
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Malaki Starks at the 33rd pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 22
Jalon Walker at the 37th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Tate Ratledge · OG · rank 31
Nothing to complain about; Tate Ratledge went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 43
The board fumbled Tyler Warren all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Armand Membou · OT · rank 66
A clean, defensible pick in No. 69 with a little surplus value in Armand Membou. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.17 · Pick 81 · Darien Porter · CB · rank 79
By-the-book stuff, Darien Porter at pick 81 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
R4.3 · Pick 104 · Tez Johnson · WR · rank 93
Tez Johnson in No. 104 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.16 · Pick 117 · Jake Majors · C · rank 92
Jake Majors in slot 117 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
R5.6 · Pick 143 · Trey Moore · LB-EDGE · rank 255
They reached into another round for Trey Moore, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.3 · Pick 178 · Smael Mondon Jr. · LB · rank 99
They will replay Smael Mondon Jr. at the 178th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R7.1 · Pick 217 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 110
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Cam Skattebo in Round 7, Pick 1, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Jared Wilson · C · rank 204
A slide stopped in the 220th pick, with Jared Wilson worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Shilo Sanders · S · rank 241
They paid sticker price for Shilo Sanders in pick No. 238, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
