New England Patriots

The phones sank the Patriots this weekend: C+.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: J.J. Weaver, 52 picks early at No. 167.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

So much rides on Kelvin Banks Jr. that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.7 · Pick 7 · Kelvin Banks Jr. · OT · rank 10
In pick No. 7 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Tyleik Williams · DT · rank 32
Tyleik Williams in slot 34 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Tory Horton · WR · rank 70
Tory Horton at the 66th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Quincy Riley · CB · rank 66
Good price on Quincy Riley in Round 3, Pick 7, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R4.2 · Pick 98 · Derrick Moore · LB-EDGE · rank 111
Derrick Moore in the 98th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.2 · Pick 130 · Fernando Carmona Jr. · OT · rank 125
Fair-plus on Fernando Carmona Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.7 · Pick 167 · J.J. Weaver · LB-EDGE · rank 219
J.J. Weaver at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.2 · Pick 194 · Lander Barton · LB · rank 222
Lander Barton in No. 194 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
