The Patriots turned the phones into found money: A-. The Patriots ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.
That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Starks falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Will Campbell and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick38
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at slot 38 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69
Rnd3
Jaylin Noel
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jaylin Noel in the 69th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71
Rnd3
Dylan Sampson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dylan Sampson at No. 71. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick77
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in pick 77 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
