The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Wilson: B. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Patriots were there to profit. Raylen Wilson, the No. 127 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 197.
The Moore reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The Patriots paired the rookies with proven help, Alvin Kamara leading the way.
The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Jordyn Tyson
The board had Jordyn Tyson higher than Round 1, Pick 26, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick59
Rnd2
Malik Muhammad
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Malik Muhammad. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick95
Rnd3
Mikail Kamara
Mikail Kamara at the 95th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick112
Rnd4
Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor at No. 112 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick116
Rnd4
Carson Beck
Carson Beck in pick No. 116 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick125
Rnd4
Bryce Lance
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Bryce Lance in the 125th overall pick, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick131
Rnd4
Justice Haynes
Justice Haynes is a better player than the Round 4 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick154
Rnd5
Bud Clark
They robbed the room for Bud Clark here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick158
Rnd5
Jaren Kanak
A wild overpay on Jaren Kanak in Round 5, Pick 19, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick170
Rnd5
Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner in slot 170 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick197
Rnd6
Raylen Wilson
Circle this one: Raylen Wilson at the 197th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick202
Rnd6
Evan Stewart
The board fumbled Evan Stewart all the way to pick No. 202, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick216
Rnd6
Trey Zuhn III
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 6 slot with a little surplus value in Trey Zuhn III. It fills a real need, too.
Pick219
Rnd7
Trey Moore
Trey Moore at pick 219 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick231
Rnd7
Dante Dowdell
They reached a country mile for Dante Dowdell at No. 231, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick237
Rnd7
Dominic Zvada
Dominic Zvada in the 237th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
