The Patriots turned the phones into found money: B.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Donovan Smith; the Patriots did not wait, grabbing him 32 spots ahead at the 238th pick.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick 14 they get a red-zone target to build around at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
They reached a country mile for Jayden Higgins at No. 38, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
A real head-scratcher, Jordan Burch in pick No. 69 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick77 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in Round 3, Pick 13 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick106 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
The board had cheaper options than Denzel Burke at the Round 4 slot, and it noticed. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick144 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at slot 144 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick217 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Caleb Ransaw at the 217th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick220 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
They jumped the gun on Cam Jackson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
Donovan Smith in pick No. 238 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
