Nobody dealt better than the Patriots this weekend: A. The Logan Jones pick is the one that will follow the Patriots into the fall. They took him 61 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.
The Lachey pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
The Lawson pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback and running back still on the board. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
In the end it comes back to Mason Graham, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Mason Graham
Mason Graham at No. 9 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick38
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Good price on Jalon Walker in pick 38, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick61
Rnd2
Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in the 61st pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick71
Rnd3
Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild slipping to slot 71 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick72
Rnd3
Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick86
Rnd3
Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at Round 3, Pick 22 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick87
Rnd3
T.J. Sanders
Steal is underselling it; T.J. Sanders at Round 3, Pick 23 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick107
Rnd4
Deontae Lawson
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Deontae Lawson at linebacker with quarterback and running back open.
Pick108
Rnd4
Ozzy Trapilo
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 4 slot with a little surplus value in Ozzy Trapilo. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick144
Rnd5
Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills at slot 144 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick164
Rnd5
Logan Brown
Logan Brown at No. 164 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick185
Rnd6
Jaishawn Barham
No edge and no loss on Jaishawn Barham in pick 185; it is a wash and a sensible one. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick199
Rnd6
Nic Anderson
They robbed the room for Nic Anderson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick218
Rnd7
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Somehow Dont'e Thornton Jr. was still sitting there in the 218th pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick220
Rnd7
Hunter Wohler
Hunter Wohler at the 220th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick236
Rnd7
Logan Jones
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Logan Jones. It fills a real need, too.
Pick256
Rnd7
Luke Lachey
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Luke Lachey in the 256th pick, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
