Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Raheim Sanders got past him. The Patriots do not have to explain a thing at slot 220.

If Cornelius pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.1 · Pick 1 · Travis Hunter · CB · rank 1
In No. 1 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Tyler Booker · OG · rank 37
They paid sticker price for Tyler Booker in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Ajani Cornelius · OT · rank 104
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ajani Cornelius well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.15 · Pick 79 · Dylan Sampson · RB · rank 43
Steal is underselling it; Dylan Sampson at the 79th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.2 · Pick 103 · Andrew Mukuba · S · rank 72
Andrew Mukuba in pick No. 103 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.1 · Pick 138 · Smael Mondon Jr. · LB · rank 105
Taking Smael Mondon Jr. in Round 5, Pick 1 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R7.3 · Pick 219 · Eli Stowers · TE · rank 164
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Eli Stowers in the 219th overall pick, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Raheim Sanders · RB · rank 145
Raheim Sanders in pick 220 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Trevor Etienne · RB · rank 195
You do not let a running back like Trevor Etienne reach slot 238 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
