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

When a board-topper like TJ Ferguson slides to Round 4, Pick 7, you do not overthink it, and the Patriots did not.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
Travis Hunter at Round 1, Pick 3 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick41 Rnd2 James Pearce Jr.
James Pearce Jr. at pick 41 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick72 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland slid further than he should have, and the 72nd pick is lovely value for the tight end. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick85 Rnd3 Fernando Carmona
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 85, where Fernando Carmona graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick108 Rnd4 TJ Ferguson
TJ Ferguson at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts at No. 144 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick216 Rnd7 Tony Grimes
Nice patience on Tony Grimes, who had no business lasting to the 216th overall pick. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick218 Rnd7 Kyle McCord
Steal is underselling it; Kyle McCord at slot 218 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jason Henderson
They let Jason Henderson come to them and pounced at pick No. 228. A minor need, but a need all the same.
