The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Perkins Jr.: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Harold Perkins Jr. at Round 7, Pick 21 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The cost of the Johnson reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Nice patience on Jalon Walker, who had no business lasting to pick No. 39. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick70 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at the 70th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick80 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
A clean, defensible pick in the 80th overall pick with a little surplus value in Malachi Moore. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick106 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
A premium they did not need to pay, Tez Johnson a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick141 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in pick 141 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick221 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
Steal is underselling it; Bryce Foster at No. 221 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick223 Rnd7 Clay Webb
They paid sticker price for Clay Webb in slot 223, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick235 Rnd7 Harold Perkins Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 235 is the definition of value, full stop. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
