New England Patriots

The Patriots worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Jason Henderson, 54 picks early at the Round 6 slot.

Milroe at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.23 · Pick 23 · James Pearce Jr. · DE-EDGE · rank 25
In slot 23 they get a premier pass rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Aireontae Ersery · OT · rank 61
A reach for Aireontae Ersery in pick No. 47; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Kenneth Grant · DL · rank 68
Kenneth Grant at the 50th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Malachi Moore · S · rank 75
They liked Malachi Moore enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 2 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Ashton Gillotte · DL-EDGE · rank 73
Ashton Gillotte at Round 3, Pick 3 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · Jalen Milroe · QB · rank 33
A quarterback of that caliber at the 73rd pick is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.10 · Pick 74 · Emery Jones Jr. · OT · rank 71
Fair-plus on Emery Jones Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
R3.28 · Pick 92 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 86
Danny Stutsman in No. 92 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R4.2 · Pick 103 · Ollie Gordon II · RB · rank 82
They barely believed it either: Ollie Gordon II still on the board at the 103rd overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.35 · Pick 136 · Bryce Foster · C · rank 155
Bryce Foster in slot 136 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.12 · Pick 150 · Bryson Nesbit · TE · rank 188
Value said wait; Bryson Nesbit in pick No. 150 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.12 · Pick 187 · Jason Henderson · LB · rank 241
A big swing on Jason Henderson at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R7.3 · Pick 217 · Collin Oliver · LB-EDGE · rank 245
A real head-scratcher, Collin Oliver in the 217th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.6 · Pick 220 · Shilo Sanders · S · rank 207
They let Shilo Sanders come to them and pounced at Round 7, Pick 6. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
