The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Judkins: B-. The rest of the league will want that one back. Quinshon Judkins tumbling to the Patriots in the Round 6 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about.
Parker has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In pick 3 they get an island corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick34
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
Fair-plus on Tate Ratledge, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick36
Rnd2
Josh Conerly Jr.
A reach on Josh Conerly Jr. in the 36th pick; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick79
Rnd3
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the 79th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick105
Rnd4
Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at No. 105 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick129
Rnd4
Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson at pick No. 129 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick138
Rnd5
Savion Williams
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Savion Williams in Round 5, Pick 1, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick194
Rnd6
Quinshon Judkins
Steal is underselling it; Quinshon Judkins at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick218
Rnd7
Kaden Prather
Kaden Prather at pick 218 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick219
Rnd7
Harold Perkins Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at the 219th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick220
Rnd7
Justin Walley
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Justin Walley well ahead of where he belonged. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick238
Rnd7
Steven Parker
Steven Parker at slot 238 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick247
Rnd7
KJ Jefferson
KJ Jefferson in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
