The Patriots torched the value chart for Garret Greenfield, taking him 46 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.4 · Pick 4 · Joe Alt · OT · rank 3
In No. 4 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
R1.27 · Pick 27 · Adonai Mitchell · WR · rank 33
In pick 27 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Xavier Legette · WR · rank 74
Xavier Legette at slot 53 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Spencer Rattler · QB · rank 68
They went early on Spencer Rattler in Round 2, Pick 24, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
R3.35 · Pick 98 · Renardo Green · S · rank 112
A reach on Renardo Green in the 98th pick; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 111
By-the-book stuff, Isaac Guerendo at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Marist Liufau · LB · rank 148
They jumped the gun on Marist Liufau, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R5.2 · Pick 138 · Justin Eboigbe · DL-EDGE · rank 150
Justin Eboigbe in pick 138 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.26 · Pick 162 · Jordan Jefferson · DT · rank 186
Jordan Jefferson in Round 5, Pick 26 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Garret Greenfield · OT · rank 220
Garret Greenfield at No. 174 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.5 · Pick 180 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 193
A premium they did not need to pay, Elijah Jones a notch or two before his time. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R7.11 · Pick 231 · Tip Reiman · TE · rank 225
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tip Reiman in pick No. 231. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
