Whoever sat across the table from the Patriots should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.
They are betting Holker proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Getting Hart where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Deebo Samuel gives the group a proven body among the projects.
A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 31st overall pick they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
No edge and no loss on Darius Robinson in pick 34; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Xavier Worthy at pick No. 63 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Spencer Rattler. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cam Hart at Round 4, Pick 4 is the proof. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
A big swing on Dallin Holker at slot 136, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Good price on Jha'Quan Jackson in the Round 6 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Austin Reed in the 229th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
