Nobody had Isaac Guerendo this high, and it is not close. The Patriots reached 59 spots to get him at pick No. 216. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Budda Baker pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.4 · Pick 4 · Joe Alt · OT · rank 3
In the 4th overall pick they get a blindside protector at fair value. A real need, handled.
R1.27 · Pick 27 · Adonai Mitchell · WR · rank 31
In the 27th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 47
Patrick Paul at Round 2, Pick 21 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It fills a real need, too.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 65
Payton Wilson at pick 68 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Spencer Rattler · QB · rank 90
They reached a country mile for Spencer Rattler at No. 70, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.33 · Pick 96 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 105
Khyree Jackson in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor itch, scratched.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Leonard Taylor III · DL · rank 113
A premium they did not need to pay, Leonard Taylor III a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.36 · Pick 136 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 145
A reach on Ben Sinnott in pick 136; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.19 · Pick 155 · Renardo Green · S · rank 153
A straight-up fair deal on Renardo Green at the 155th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.7 · Pick 182 · Jared Wiley · TE · rank 214
Jared Wiley in Round 6, Pick 7 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.13 · Pick 188 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 208
A real head-scratcher, Christian Jones in the 188th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 275
They left a pile of value on the table to take Isaac Guerendo this early at pick No. 216. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.9 · Pick 229 · Joshua Cephus · WR · rank 258
Joshua Cephus at slot 229 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Chad Lindberg · C · rank 283
Chad Lindberg at No. 251 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
