New England Patriots

Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Gordon II: A.

You build a draft on nights like this. Ollie Gordon II had no business being available in slot 236, and the Patriots did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The cost of the Lacy reach is exactly the players who went right after him. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Emeka Egbuka and all.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.8 · Pick 8 · Emeka Egbuka · WR · rank 7
In the 8th pick they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Malaki Starks · S · rank 19
Malaki Starks in slot 39 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Luther Burden III · WR · rank 32
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Luther Burden III in pick 41. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.8 · Pick 72 · Omarion Hampton · RB · rank 15
Taking Omarion Hampton in No. 72 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
R3.22 · Pick 86 · Tyler Booker · OG · rank 50
Tyler Booker at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.7 · Pick 108 · Smael Mondon Jr. · LB · rank 42
Steal is underselling it; Smael Mondon Jr. at Round 4, Pick 7 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R5.6 · Pick 144 · Deontae Lawson · LB · rank 89
They will replay Deontae Lawson at pick No. 144 for years; that is how good the value is. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R7.4 · Pick 218 · Kevin Winston Jr. · S · rank 195
Kevin Winston Jr. at the 218th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.6 · Pick 220 · Kyren Lacy · WR · rank 237
They liked Kyren Lacy enough to skip the value, taking him in the 220th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.22 · Pick 236 · Ollie Gordon II · RB · rank 142
The board fumbled Ollie Gordon II all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
R7.42 · Pick 256 · Donovan Edwards · RB · rank 209
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Donovan Edwards in slot 256, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
