New England Patriots

The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Sanders: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Patriots were there to profit. T.J. Sanders, the No. 27 name on the board, should have been long gone before Round 7, Pick 4.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The Patriots clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.4 · Pick 4 · Travis Hunter · CB · rank 1
Nothing to complain about; Travis Hunter went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
The board fumbled Ashton Jeanty all the way to pick No. 36, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Wyatt Milum · OT · rank 13
Wyatt Milum in pick 67 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
R3.10 · Pick 74 · Tre Harris · WR · rank 23
They barely believed it either: Tre Harris still on the board at slot 74. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.15 · Pick 79 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 25
They will replay Jalon Walker at the 79th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R4.2 · Pick 103 · Walter Nolen · DT · rank 12
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Walter Nolen in the 103rd pick, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.10 · Pick 111 · Josaiah Stewart · DE-EDGE · rank 42
Circle this one: Josaiah Stewart at Round 4, Pick 10 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.1 · Pick 138 · Xavier Restrepo · WR · rank 49
Xavier Restrepo at No. 138 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.11 · Pick 148 · Dylan Fairchild · OG · rank 56
Taking Dylan Fairchild in Round 5, Pick 11 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.3 · Pick 219 · Oronde Gadsden II · TE · rank 133
Oronde Gadsden II in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · T.J. Sanders · DT · rank 27
Steal is underselling it; T.J. Sanders at No. 220 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.7 · Pick 223 · Malachi Moore · S · rank 72
A safety of that caliber at pick 223 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Jake Majors · C · rank 93
They robbed the room for Jake Majors here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
