The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Stowers: B.

The Patriots spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Eli Stowers, the No. 53 name on the board, in Round 3, Pick 31.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In pick No. 31 they get a No. 1 receiver, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 A.J. Haulcy
Nice patience on A.J. Haulcy, who had no business lasting to slot 63. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick95 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
You do not let a tight end like Eli Stowers reach No. 95 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jude Bowry
By-the-book stuff, Jude Bowry at the 125th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick131 Rnd4 Justin Joly
Justin Joly at Round 4, Pick 31 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Travis Burke
No drama and no debate, Travis Burke went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick191 Rnd6 Matt Gulbin
Matt Gulbin slid further than he should have, and the 191st pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick198 Rnd6 Anez Cooper
The board had Anez Cooper higher than pick 198, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick202 Rnd6 Red Murdock
Good price on Red Murdock in the Round 6 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick212 Rnd6 J'Mari Taylor
Steal is underselling it; J'Mari Taylor at pick No. 212 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick247 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
They robbed the room for Thaddeus Dixon here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
