Grand theft in the 224th pick: the Patriots steal Cowing and grade out a B.

The Patriots spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jacob Cowing, the No. 186 name on the board, in pick No. 224.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 3 they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Josh Newton
No drama and no debate, Josh Newton went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick67 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Nice patience on Patrick Paul, who had no business lasting to the 67th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick103 Rnd4 Beau Brade
Beau Brade at pick No. 103 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Value with a capital V on Jaylan Ford in Round 6, Pick 6, a genuine coup. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing in slot 224 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
