Larceny in pick No. 221 lands the Patriots a B-, Perkins Jr. and all.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Harold Perkins Jr., the No. 128 name on the board, stolen at No. 221.

Reaching for Trapilo left real value on the table behind him. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick No. 3 they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
They paid up for Aireontae Ersery at the 39th pick when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick70 Rnd3 Deone Walker
No edge and no loss on Deone Walker in pick 70; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick80 Rnd3 Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ozzy Trapilo. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick141 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson in No. 141 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick221 Rnd7 Harold Perkins Jr.
They barely believed it either: Harold Perkins Jr. still on the board at the 221st overall pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick223 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
They read the board right and Miles Frazier was the payoff at Round 7, Pick 9. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick235 Rnd7 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson slid further than he should have, and pick No. 235 is lovely value for the tight end. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
