The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Barton: B+. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Patriots watched Lander Barton slide 104 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.
For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The cost of the Johnson reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Mason Graham
In the 14th pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Steal is underselling it; Malaki Starks at No. 38 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick45
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
No edge and no loss on Tyler Warren in pick 45; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick69
Rnd3
Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at the 69th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick77
Rnd3
Tez Johnson
They went early on Tez Johnson in pick No. 77, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick105
Rnd4
Jake Majors
Jake Majors at Round 4, Pick 4 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick143
Rnd5
Cam Skattebo
Circle this one: Cam Skattebo at slot 143 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick217
Rnd7
Xavier Nwankpa
The board fumbled Xavier Nwankpa all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick220
Rnd7
Raheim Sanders
Taking Raheim Sanders in pick No. 220 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick232
Rnd7
Lander Barton
A linebacker of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 16 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick241
Rnd7
Jonah Monheim
They will replay Jonah Monheim at slot 241 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
