Grand theft in slot 130: the Patriots steal Dart and grade out a B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jaxson Dart, the No. 104 name on the board, stolen at pick 130.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In No. 2 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte at the 34th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick66 Rnd3 Xavier Restrepo
No drama and no debate, Xavier Restrepo went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick98 Rnd4 Keon Sabb
By-the-book stuff, Keon Sabb at slot 98 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick130 Rnd5 Jaxson Dart
A quarterback of that caliber at pick No. 130 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick194 Rnd7 Jo'Quavious Marks
No edge and no loss on Jo'Quavious Marks in the 194th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
