No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Patriots.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Patriots spent pick 194 on Jalen Catalon, a name the board had a full 46 spots lower.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Singleton at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In pick 2 they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They took Tyler Booker at par in No. 34, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in Round 3, Pick 2 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick98 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
They let Nicholas Singleton come to them and pounced at pick No. 98. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick130 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at the Round 5 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick194 Rnd7 Jalen Catalon
Value said wait; Jalen Catalon in the 194th pick says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
