Moore should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a B. When a board-topper like Dante Moore slides to pick No. 212, you do not overthink it, and the Patriots did not.
Every board in the league had Zvada lower, and that gap is the story. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Spending an early pick on specialist with interior defensive lineman open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
Spencer Fano
In No. 32 they get an anchor for the offensive line, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick64
Rnd2
Caleb Banks
They robbed the room for Caleb Banks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick86
Rnd3
Jordyn Tyson
Jordyn Tyson in pick No. 86 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick96
Rnd3
David Bailey
David Bailey in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick126
Rnd4
Dominic Zvada
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 4, Pick 26 on Dominic Zvada with interior defensive lineman unsolved.
Pick132
Rnd4
Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton in the 132nd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick172
Rnd5
Jake Slaughter
Taking Jake Slaughter in pick 172 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick194
Rnd6
Eli Stowers
Steal is underselling it; Eli Stowers at the 194th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick201
Rnd6
Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at No. 201 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick212
Rnd6
Dante Moore
Dante Moore at the 212th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick247
Rnd7
LaNorris Sellers
Circle this one: LaNorris Sellers at pick 247 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
