They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Miles Frazier, 93 picks early at pick No. 150. A mixed bag that lands at C-.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. It is not that Dotson is a bad player; it is that the Patriots had louder needs to answer first.

The Mbow value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Kenneth Grant · DT · rank 19
In pick No. 12 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Omarion Hampton · RB · rank 30
A tidy bit of business in slot 38, where Omarion Hampton graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Marcus Mbow · OT · rank 51
They barely believed it either: Marcus Mbow still on the board at No. 69. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.11 · Pick 75 · Azareye'h Thomas · CB · rank 62
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Azareye'h Thomas at the 75th overall pick. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Dylan Fairchild · OG · rank 94
A wild overpay on Dylan Fairchild in the 76th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.17 · Pick 81 · Sai'vion Jones · DE-EDGE · rank 148
Sai'vion Jones at the Round 3 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.35 · Pick 99 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 105
A straight-up fair deal on Cam Skattebo at pick 99, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.2 · Pick 103 · Tez Johnson · WR · rank 90
A quiet steal in No. 103: Tez Johnson for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.4 · Pick 105 · Mello Dotson · CB · rank 140
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Mello Dotson adds a cornerback and leaves safety, quarterback and other spots untouched.
R4.17 · Pick 118 · Raheim Sanders · RB · rank 158
This one needs a full-page explanation: Raheim Sanders in the 118th overall pick, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.11 · Pick 150 · Miles Frazier · OG · rank 243
Miles Frazier at Round 5, Pick 11 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Chase Lundt · OT · rank 173
Chase Lundt in pick No. 174 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
