The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Moss: A. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Patriots watched Le'Veon Moss slide 75 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A to cap it.
The cost of the Slackman reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.
Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Abdul Carter
In pick 17 they get a double-digit-sack hope at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Tre Harris
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tre Harris in slot 38. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick49
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker slipping to No. 49 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
They liked Donovan Jackson enough to skip the value, taking him in the 69th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick77
Rnd3
Malachi Moore
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 77 with a little surplus value in Malachi Moore. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick104
Rnd4
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in Round 4, Pick 3 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick117
Rnd4
Tory Horton
The board had Tory Horton higher than the 117th pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick143
Rnd5
Jake Majors
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Majors reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick217
Rnd7
Joey Slackman
They left a pile of value on the table to take Joey Slackman this early at No. 217. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick220
Rnd7
Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss in the 220th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238
Rnd7
Nick Martin
Nothing to complain about; Nick Martin went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
