New England Patriots

The Patriots did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

Future A+

The Nick Nash pick is the one that will follow the Patriots into the fall. They took him 134 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

Mullings falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. It is not that Igbinosun is a bad player; it is that the Patriots had louder needs to answer first. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.11 · Pick 43 · Malaki Starks · S · rank 20
Steal is underselling it; Malaki Starks at the 43rd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.13 · Pick 45 · Tyler Booker · OG · rank 38
Tyler Booker at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R2.20 · Pick 52 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 40
A slide stopped in pick 52, with Jihaad Campbell worth more than the price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Jason Marshall Jr. · CB · rank 136
A wild overpay on Jason Marshall Jr. in slot 71, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Darrell Jackson Jr. · DT · rank 85
A reach for Darrell Jackson Jr. in No. 77; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.25 · Pick 89 · Jordan Burch · DE · rank 117
They reached a country mile for Jordan Burch at Round 3, Pick 25, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.6 · Pick 107 · Tez Johnson · WR · rank 119
Tez Johnson at slot 107 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.23 · Pick 124 · Davison Igbinosun · CB · rank 227
A want over a need in pick 124: Davison Igbinosun adds a cornerback while tight end keeps waiting.
R4.25 · Pick 126 · Nick Nash · QB · rank 260
Nick Nash at the 126th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.4 · Pick 142 · Jared Ivey · DE · rank 83
A edge rusher of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.10 · Pick 148 · Parker Brailsford · C · rank 127
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Parker Brailsford in Round 5, Pick 10, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.32 · Pick 170 · Fernando Carmona · OT · rank 253
Fernando Carmona at the 170th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.39 · Pick 214 · Kalel Mullings · RB · rank 115
Kalel Mullings at No. 214 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.8 · Pick 222 · Bryce Foster · C · rank 204
They will replay Bryce Foster at pick No. 222 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.22 · Pick 236 · Clay Webb · OG · rank 226
The board had Clay Webb higher than the 236th pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.27 · Pick 241 · Jonah Monheim · C · rank 219
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jonah Monheim reach slot 241 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
