There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Patriots started one anyway for Emery Jones Jr., 92 picks ahead of schedule.

The Gordon II pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The phones were where this weekend was really won. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.6 · Pick 6 · Abdul Carter · DE-EDGE · rank 7
In No. 6 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Malaki Starks · S · rank 17
Malaki Starks in slot 37 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Matthew Golden · WR · rank 44
Matthew Golden in pick 38 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Emery Jones Jr. · OT · rank 169
A wild overpay on Emery Jones Jr. in the 77th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.3 · Pick 104 · Daylen Everette · CB · rank 114
They liked Daylen Everette enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 4 slot. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R5.6 · Pick 143 · Nazir Stackhouse · DL · rank 177
This one needs a full-page explanation: Nazir Stackhouse in the 143rd pick, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.28 · Pick 165 · Lander Barton · LB · rank 123
Steal is underselling it; Lander Barton at the 165th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R5.29 · Pick 166 · Jared Wilson · C · rank 202
They talked themselves into Jared Wilson at pick 166, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.3 · Pick 178 · Nick Nash · WR · rank 240
Nick Nash at the 178th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.1 · Pick 217 · Seth McLaughlin · C · rank 198
They robbed the room for Seth McLaughlin here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Jake Briningstool · TE · rank 207
Jake Briningstool is a better player than No. 220 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Ollie Gordon II · RB · rank 158
They barely believed it either: Ollie Gordon II still on the board at the Round 7 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
