Good, not great, for the Patriots: B-. The war room fell hard for Monroe Freeling, and it showed at slot 94: 28 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. No fireworks, but a solid B-.
Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Denzel Boston
In slot 30 they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62
Rnd2
Rod Moore
Rod Moore at the 62nd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94
Rnd3
Monroe Freeling
Monroe Freeling at pick No. 94 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick130
Rnd4
Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson slid further than he should have, and pick 130 is lovely value for the cornerback. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick131
Rnd4
Bryce Lance
Good price on Bryce Lance in No. 131, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick170
Rnd5
Connor Tollison
Connor Tollison in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick192
Rnd6
Earnest Greene III
By-the-book stuff, Earnest Greene III at slot 192 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick193
Rnd6
Le'Veon Moss
No edge and no loss on Le'Veon Moss in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick203
Rnd6
Lee Hunter
They took Lee Hunter at par in No. 203, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick209
Rnd6
Bud Clark
Bud Clark in Round 6, Pick 30 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick245
Rnd7
Brett Norfleet
A conviction pick on Brett Norfleet at pick 245 that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
