The Patriots finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a A-. The Patriots spent the pick that matters most on J.J. McCarthy, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. The All value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
It is a haul that will look even better come September.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
J.J. McCarthy
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get the face of the franchise at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
A slide stopped in slot 34, with Chop Robinson worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick57
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
No edge and no loss on Ricky Pearsall in the 57th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65
Rnd3
Kingsley Suamataia
Nothing to complain about; Kingsley Suamataia went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick68
Rnd3
Bralen Trice
They did well to land Bralen Trice in the Round 3 slot, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick103
Rnd4
Spencer Rattler
They jumped the gun on Spencer Rattler, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick125
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
They paid sticker price for Johnny Wilson in pick 125, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick130
Rnd4
Christian Jones
No drama and no debate, Christian Jones went about where he belonged in No. 130. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick137
Rnd5
Josh Newton
Nice patience on Josh Newton, who had no business lasting to the Round 5 slot. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick166
Rnd5
Kalen King
A cornerback of that caliber at the 166th pick is the definition of value, full stop. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick180
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden slid further than he should have, and slot 180 is lovely value for the cornerback. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick193
Rnd6
Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson at Round 6, Pick 18 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick218
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Curtis Jacobs in pick No. 218, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick231
Rnd7
Erick All
You do not let a tight end like Erick All reach pick 231 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
