The rest of the league will want that one back. Josh Proctor tumbling to the Patriots in Round 7, Pick 22 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Every board in the league had Chambers lower, and that gap is the story.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.16 · Pick 16 · JC Latham · OT · rank 16
In pick No. 16 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Bo Nix · QB · rank 31
Bo Nix at the 34th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 36
No drama and no debate, Keon Coleman went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 6. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Devontez Walker · WR · rank 64
A tidy little value on Devontez Walker in No. 68, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.17 · Pick 81 · Christian Haynes · OG · rank 62
Somehow Christian Haynes was still sitting there in pick 81, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Kris Abrams-Draine · CB · rank 78
Kris Abrams-Draine in slot 103 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Nehemiah Pritchett · CB · rank 134
Fair-plus on Nehemiah Pritchett, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R6.5 · Pick 180 · Steele Chambers · LB · rank 191
A reach for Steele Chambers in the Round 6 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A minor itch, scratched.
R6.18 · Pick 193 · Jared Wiley · TE · rank 200
Jared Wiley in No. 193 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.11 · Pick 231 · Trey Knox · TE · rank 237
Trey Knox at pick No. 231 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.22 · Pick 242 · Josh Proctor · S · rank 215
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Josh Proctor in the 242nd overall pick, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
