The Patriots did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jake Majors fell into Round 6, Pick 4. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

The cost of the Dellinger reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Mondon Jr. pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots still on the board.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.6 · Pick 6 · Will Campbell · OT · rank 15
In slot 6 they get a blindside protector, reach and all.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 22
Jalon Walker slid further than he should have, and pick No. 38 is lovely value for the linebacker. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R2.14 · Pick 46 · Colston Loveland · TE · rank 46
They paid sticker price for Colston Loveland in Round 2, Pick 14, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Dylan Fairchild · OG · rank 56
They let Dylan Fairchild come to them and pounced at the 69th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Jermari Harris · CB · rank 90
A premium they did not need to pay, Jermari Harris a notch or two before his time. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R4.4 · Pick 105 · Tory Horton · WR · rank 101
A tidy little value on Tory Horton in No. 105, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.16 · Pick 117 · Smael Mondon Jr. · LB · rank 106
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Smael Mondon Jr. adds a linebacker and leaves edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots untouched.
R5.6 · Pick 143 · Nicholas Singleton · RB · rank 100
Nicholas Singleton in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Jake Majors · C · rank 93
They robbed the room for Jake Majors here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Logan Parr · OG · rank 228
They went early on Logan Parr in No. 216, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
R7.1 · Pick 217 · Nick Nash · WR · rank 245
They reached into another round for Nick Nash, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Garrett Dellinger · OG · rank 255
Garrett Dellinger in slot 220 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
R7.25 · Pick 241 · Shilo Sanders · S · rank 243
By-the-book stuff, Shilo Sanders at pick No. 241 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
