The Andrew Mukuba pick is the one that will follow the Patriots into the fall. They took him 40 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Landing Nesbit that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.7 · Pick 7 · Kelvin Banks Jr. · OT · rank 8
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Tre Harris · WR · rank 44
They paid a round early for Tre Harris in pick 35, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Jonah Savaiinaea · OT · rank 38
A straight-up fair deal on Jonah Savaiinaea at slot 36, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Elic Ayomanor · WR · rank 57
A wild overpay on Elic Ayomanor in the 39th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Bryson Nesbit · TE · rank 55
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Bryson Nesbit in the 67th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Anthony Belton · OL · rank 79
A conviction pick on Anthony Belton at No. 69 that the board grades a round light. The roster fit checks out.
R4.3 · Pick 99 · Raheim Sanders · RB · rank 135
Raheim Sanders in Round 4, Pick 3 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.5 · Pick 101 · Andrew Mukuba · S · rank 141
Andrew Mukuba at pick 101 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.3 · Pick 131 · Tahj Brooks · RB · rank 158
Value said wait; Tahj Brooks in slot 131 says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.3 · Pick 195 · Tyler Van Dyke · QB · rank 200
No edge and no loss on Tyler Van Dyke in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
