Thirty-one other rooms let Elijah Jones slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at slot 231. Highway robbery. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The Patriots clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 23
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 26
Troy Fautanu at the 34th pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Adisa Isaac · DE-EDGE · rank 51
Adisa Isaac at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 36
They barely believed it either: Keon Coleman still on the board at pick 58. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 59
A quiet steal in the 68th overall pick: Jeremiah Trotter Jr. for less than the market said. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 93
A straight-up fair deal on Bucky Irving at slot 88, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 91
Dominick Puni at No. 97 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 104
Zak Zinter in pick No. 102 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.36 · Pick 136 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 132
Good price on Ben Sinnott in No. 136, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 167
Value with a capital V on Kamal Hadden in slot 179, a genuine coup. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R7.11 · Pick 231 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 193
Elijah Jones at the 231st overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
