Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Patriots were there to profit. Trey Amos, the No. 50 name on the board, should have been long gone before Round 7, Pick 6. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Every board in the league had Egbuka lower, and that gap is the story.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick-by-Pick
Emeka Egbuka at the 8th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
They will replay Jalon Walker at pick 38 for years; that is how good the value is. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Josaiah Stewart in pick No. 81, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
You do not let a tight end like Colston Loveland reach the 105th pick and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Taking Kenneth Grant in Round 4, Pick 9 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Ashton Jeanty at No. 118 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
The board fumbled Alfred Collins all the way to slot 145, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Steal is underselling it; Cam Skattebo at pick No. 219 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Trey Amos in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
They barely believed it either: Sebastian Castro still on the board at pick 240. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
