The Patriots ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. That Milton III pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The Patriots paired the rookies with proven help, Broderick Jones leading the way.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.32 · Pick 32 · Troy Franklin · WR · rank 25
In pick No. 32 they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 34
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kamren Kinchens. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 58
Good price on T'Vondre Sweat in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Ja'Lynn Polk · WR · rank 55
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 4, where Ja'Lynn Polk graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Spencer Rattler · QB · rank 91
A clean, defensible pick in pick 95 with a little surplus value in Spencer Rattler. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 93
Nice patience on Bucky Irving, who had no business lasting to No. 103. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 137
A straight-up fair deal on Cam Hart at slot 139, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R6.7 · Pick 182 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 164
They will replay Joe Milton III at pick No. 182 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.35 · Pick 210 · Jordan Magee · LB · rank 202
They let Jordan Magee come to them and pounced at the 210th pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R7.12 · Pick 232 · Myles Jones · CB · rank 214
Myles Jones in the 232nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
