Grand theft in the 38th pick: the Patriots steal Warren and grade out a B-.

Call it larceny. Tyler Warren sat on the board until pick 38, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Reaching for Jackson left real value on the table behind him. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick 4 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They will replay Tyler Warren at the Round 2 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at No. 69 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick77 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 77 with a little surplus value in Isaiah Bond. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
They took Xavier Restrepo at par in Round 4, Pick 4, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
A tidy little value on Malachi Moore in slot 144, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick217 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
Alijah Huzzie at the 217th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick220 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
They paid up for Cam Jackson at the 220th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick238 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
They did well to land Ja'Corey Brooks in Round 7, Pick 22, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
