New England Patriots

Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Leonard: B+.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Riley Leonard tumbling to the Patriots in slot 168 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

They will need Mukuba to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The veteran additions, Zay Jones chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.8 · Pick 8 · Will Campbell · OT · rank 6
In No. 8 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Emery Jones · OT · rank 33
Emery Jones in the 34th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Omarion Hampton · RB · rank 37
No edge and no loss on Omarion Hampton in the 39th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Tyler Booker · OG · rank 35
Good price on Tyler Booker in slot 41, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 50
TreVeyon Henderson at Round 2, Pick 26 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Bryson Nesbit · TE · rank 55
A tidy bit of business in pick 66, where Bryson Nesbit graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Oscar Delp · TE · rank 84
Oscar Delp at the Round 3 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.24 · Pick 88 · Hunter Wohler · S · rank 97
A reach on Hunter Wohler in pick No. 88; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.26 · Pick 90 · Earnest Greene III · OG · rank 98
They liked Earnest Greene III enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 90. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.31 · Pick 95 · Aireontae Ersery · OT · rank 127
They talked themselves into Aireontae Ersery at slot 95, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.2 · Pick 98 · Andrew Mukuba · S · rank 153
This one needs a full-page explanation: Andrew Mukuba in the 98th overall pick, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.2 · Pick 130 · Alfred Collins · DL · rank 163
Alfred Collins at pick 130 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.8 · Pick 168 · Riley Leonard · QB · rank 75
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Riley Leonard in No. 168, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.2 · Pick 194 · Damien Martinez · RB · rank 162
Circle this one: Damien Martinez at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
R7.31 · Pick 223 · Chris Tyree · WR · rank 261
Chris Tyree at the 223rd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
