New England Patriots

The Patriots bled value on every deal, hence the D.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Patriots took Garrett Dellinger at the 186th pick, roughly 105 spots before his name belonged.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and safety is still a hole.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.9 · Pick 9 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
In the Round 1 slot they get a centerpiece for the ground game at fair value. A real need, handled.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Aireontae Ersery · OT · rank 47
They liked Aireontae Ersery enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 38. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Dylan Fairchild · OG · rank 94
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dylan Fairchild this early at the 69th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Jared Ivey · DE-EDGE · rank 79
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jared Ivey. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Darius Alexander · DT · rank 131
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Darius Alexander. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.10 · Pick 111 · Joshua Farmer · DT · rank 123
Joshua Farmer at No. 111 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.29 · Pick 130 · Emery Jones Jr. · OT · rank 128
Emery Jones Jr. in Round 4, Pick 29 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
R4.32 · Pick 133 · Raheim Sanders · RB · rank 158
Value said wait; Raheim Sanders in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.31 · Pick 170 · Dont'e Thornton Jr. · WR · rank 185
A reach on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in No. 170; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.8 · Pick 186 · Garrett Dellinger · OG · rank 291
Garrett Dellinger in pick 186 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.33 · Pick 211 · Sam Brown · WR · rank 229
They reached into another round for Sam Brown, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.4 · Pick 222 · CJ West · DT · rank 217
They did well to land CJ West in slot 222, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
