The Patriots spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Wyatt Milum, the No. 13 name on the board, in No. 220.
The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.
They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 4 they get a potential shutdown corner. More want than need.
In the 12th pick they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Ashton Jeanty at pick 105 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tre Harris in slot 217, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Steal is underselling it; Wyatt Milum at No. 220 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
