New England Patriots

The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Sanders: A-.

Call it larceny. T.J. Sanders sat on the board until the 238th pick, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Ashton Jeanty and all.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Travis Hunter · CB · rank 1
In slot 12 they get a potential shutdown corner at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
R1.20 · Pick 20 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
In the Round 1 slot they get a workhorse for the backfield, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Tre Harris · WR · rank 23
Tre Harris at No. 36 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Wyatt Milum · OT · rank 13
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Wyatt Milum in Round 3, Pick 3, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Walter Nolen · DT · rank 12
Walter Nolen in pick No. 77 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.2 · Pick 103 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 25
Jalon Walker in the 103rd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R5.1 · Pick 138 · Nick Emmanwori · S · rank 17
Nick Emmanwori at pick 138 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.3 · Pick 219 · Xavier Restrepo · WR · rank 49
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 219th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Josaiah Stewart · DE-EDGE · rank 42
Josaiah Stewart at the 220th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · T.J. Sanders · DT · rank 27
The board fumbled T.J. Sanders all the way to No. 238, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
