The Patriots worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. The Patriots ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.
For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. They are betting Bethune proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The Johnson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 3 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61
Rnd2
Kingsley Suamataia
Fair-plus on Kingsley Suamataia, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick68
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
No drama and no debate, Cooper Beebe went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick104
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Brenden Rice in the 104th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick136
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
They read the board right and Johnny Wilson was the payoff at pick No. 136. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick138
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
They paid up for Jarrian Jones at Round 5, Pick 2 when waiting would have done the job. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick182
Rnd6
Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson slid further than he should have, and pick 182 is lovely value for the running back. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick229
Rnd7
Tatum Bethune
Tatum Bethune at slot 229 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
