The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Ryan Fitzgerald, No. 222, roughly 105 picks past where he belonged.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

The Patriots paired the rookies with proven help, Myles Garrett leading the way. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.23 · Pick 55 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 40
Jihaad Campbell in slot 55 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Elic Ayomanor · WR · rank 57
Elic Ayomanor at Round 3, Pick 5 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.22 · Pick 86 · Denzel Burke · CB · rank 89
Denzel Burke in No. 86 is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R4.4 · Pick 105 · Gunnar Helm · TE · rank 68
They robbed the room for Gunnar Helm here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.7 · Pick 108 · Andrew Mukuba · S · rank 69
They barely believed it either: Andrew Mukuba still on the board at pick 108. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.6 · Pick 145 · Dylan Sampson · RB · rank 65
Somehow Dylan Sampson was still sitting there in the 145th pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.34 · Pick 173 · Chris Paul Jr. · LB · rank 88
Chris Paul Jr. at pick No. 173 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R5.38 · Pick 177 · Jake Majors · C · rank 107
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.1 · Pick 219 · Lander Barton · LB · rank 137
Taking Lander Barton in pick 219 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R7.4 · Pick 222 · Ryan Fitzgerald · PK · rank 117
They will replay Ryan Fitzgerald at the 222nd pick for years; that is how good the value is. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R7.22 · Pick 240 · James Burnip · P · rank 168
A top-tier specialist at a bargain, James Burnip in pick No. 240, plain and simple. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
