ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for McCord: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Kyle McCord got past him. The Patriots do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 235.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Every board in the league had Campbell lower, and that gap is the story. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In slot 1 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Princely Umanmielen
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Princely Umanmielen at Round 2, Pick 4 is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jason Marshall Jr.
Taking Jason Marshall Jr. in pick 67 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick93 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
They took Nick Emmanwori at par in the 93rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick103 Rnd4 Tyler Warren
They went early on Tyler Warren in the 103rd overall pick, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick139 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
A slide stopped in No. 139, with Raheim Sanders worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick217 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
The board fumbled Luke Lachey all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
Quietly one of the better values of the day, De'Corian Clark at pick No. 220. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick235 Rnd7 Kyle McCord
You do not let a quarterback like Kyle McCord reach pick 235 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
