New England Patriots

The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Singleton: B.

Future B-

Thirty-one other rooms let Nicholas Singleton slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at pick 223. Highway robbery.

If Jones Jr. pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.8 · Pick 8 · Tetairoa McMillan · WR · rank 6
In No. 8 they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Emeka Egbuka · WR · rank 28
A quiet steal in pick No. 39: Emeka Egbuka for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.10 · Pick 42 · Kenneth Grant · DT · rank 26
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kenneth Grant at the Round 2 slot is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Ajani Cornelius · OT · rank 106
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ajani Cornelius in the 70th overall pick, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.16 · Pick 80 · Denzel Burke · CB · rank 65
Value with a capital V on Denzel Burke in the 80th pick, a genuine coup. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.31 · Pick 95 · Xavier Watts · S · rank 48
Taking Xavier Watts in slot 95 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.5 · Pick 106 · Emery Jones Jr. · OT · rank 181
A real head-scratcher, Emery Jones Jr. in pick 106 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
R4.10 · Pick 111 · Evan Stewart · WR · rank 101
A slide stopped in Round 4, Pick 10, with Evan Stewart worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.3 · Pick 141 · Deontae Lawson · LB · rank 84
Deontae Lawson in pick No. 141 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R6.10 · Pick 185 · Elijah Arroyo · TE · rank 189
By-the-book stuff, Elijah Arroyo at the 185th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.7 · Pick 221 · Jake Slaughter · C · rank 163
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 221 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.9 · Pick 223 · Nicholas Singleton · RB · rank 104
The board fumbled Nicholas Singleton all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.21 · Pick 235 · Miles Frazier · OG · rank 211
You do not let an offensive lineman like Miles Frazier reach pick 235 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.39 · Pick 253 · Joey Slackman · DL · rank 289
Joey Slackman at the 253rd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
