Thirty-one other rooms let Jake Majors slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at the 223rd overall pick. Highway robbery.
Wedig has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
They will replay Luther Burden III at the Round 2 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Circle this one: Malaki Starks at slot 43 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
They reached a country mile for Jack Nelson at pick 70, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Jalon Walker in No. 80 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It adds depth where they could use a little.
A clean, defensible pick in the 106th pick with a little surplus value in Maxwell Hairston. A minor itch, scratched.
They barely believed it either: Danny Stutsman still on the board at the 141st overall pick. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Miles Frazier slipping to pick No. 221 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Majors reach the 223rd overall pick and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Trey Wedig at No. 235 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
