The Patriots robbed the room for Marks. Final grade: B+. Whoever sat across the table from the Patriots should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend.
Getting Marks where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Bernhard Raimann pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Abdul Carter
In pick No. 4 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick69
Rnd3
Jaylin Noel
A slide stopped in pick 69, with Jaylin Noel worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
No drama and no debate, Anthony Belton went about where he belonged in slot 106. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick217
Rnd7
Woody Marks
Woody Marks in the 217th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick220
Rnd7
Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at Round 7, Pick 4 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick238
Rnd7
Cam Jackson
A tidy bit of business in No. 238, where Cam Jackson graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
