Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Trey Amos got past him. The Patriots do not have to explain a thing at slot 223.
They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.
Quantity was the play, for better or worse. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
Nothing to complain about; Kelvin Banks Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Isaiah Bond at No. 39 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Wyatt Milum at pick 41 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Aireontae Ersery in the 70th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Taking Tyler Booker in pick No. 80 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Kenneth Grant in the 95th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Jahdae Barron at Round 4, Pick 5 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
They will replay Tre Harris at slot 141 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
They barely believed it either: Gunnar Helm still on the board at slot 221. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
The board fumbled Trey Amos all the way to pick 223, and they scooped it up. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Steal is underselling it; Jake Majors at pick No. 235 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
