The Patriots won the night they stopped Judkins from sliding. Grade: A. The Patriots spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Quinshon Judkins, the No. 70 name on the board, in pick 143.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Shemar Stewart and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Shemar Stewart
In pick No. 24 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Somehow Tyler Warren was still sitting there in pick 38, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick69
Rnd3
Deone Walker
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Deone Walker. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick78
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
A reach for Donovan Jackson in the 78th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick97
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at the 97th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104
Rnd4
Demetrius Knight Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Demetrius Knight Jr. reach slot 104 and blink. They did not. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick143
Rnd5
Quinshon Judkins
They barely believed it either: Quinshon Judkins still on the board at No. 143. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
