The Patriots looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Traeshon Holden at the 238th pick regardless, 127 picks early. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

The Giddens value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

The Walker pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher and quarterback.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.27 · Pick 59 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 38
Circle this one: Jihaad Campbell at No. 59 is a fall that decides a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 43
The board fumbled Tyler Warren all the way to the Round 2 slot, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Tyleik Williams · DT · rank 53
A tidy bit of business in pick 66, where Tyleik Williams graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 22
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 69th overall pick on Jalon Walker with edge rusher and quarterback unsolved.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Deone Walker · DT · rank 68
Deone Walker at pick No. 77 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.33 · Pick 97 · Emery Jones Jr. · OT · rank 169
They talked themselves into Emery Jones Jr. at Round 3, Pick 33, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.3 · Pick 104 · Kevin Winston Jr. · S · rank 90
A quiet steal in the 104th pick: Kevin Winston Jr. for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.1 · Pick 138 · Davison Igbinosun · CB · rank 213
This one needs a full-page explanation: Davison Igbinosun in Round 5, Pick 1, miles early. A minor itch, scratched.
R5.6 · Pick 143 · Ja'Corey Brooks · WR · rank 192
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ja'Corey Brooks. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.22 · Pick 159 · Carson Schwesinger · LB · rank 124
Somehow Carson Schwesinger was still sitting there in No. 159, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R7.1 · Pick 217 · Jalen Rivers · OT · rank 314
They reached a country mile for Jalen Rivers at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · DJ Giddens · RB · rank 161
A running back of that caliber at pick 220 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Traeshon Holden · WR · rank 365
A real head-scratcher, Traeshon Holden in pick No. 238 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
