Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Patriots.

The Patriots went off the board in a big way for Chris Tyree, 59 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Milroe. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 3 they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Emery Jones in Round 2, Pick 3 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Jalen Milroe at pick No. 67 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
They paid sticker price for Hunter Wohler in No. 99, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Andrew Mukuba at the 131st overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
They reached a country mile for Chris Tyree at slot 195, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
