Thirty-one other rooms let Cam Ward slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at the Round 7 slot. Highway robbery.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.24 · Pick 24 · Travis Hunter · CB · rank 1
In the 24th overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary at a price that makes it sweeter.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Colston Loveland · TE · rank 58
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Colston Loveland worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
R3.28 · Pick 92 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 14
They barely believed it either: Ashton Jeanty still on the board at No. 92. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.2 · Pick 98 · Walter Nolen · DT · rank 17
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at slot 98 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.28 · Pick 124 · Jahdae Barron · S · rank 27
The board fumbled Jahdae Barron all the way to the 124th pick, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.2 · Pick 194 · Sonny Styles · S · rank 50
Sonny Styles at Round 7, Pick 2 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.4 · Pick 196 · Ashton Gillotte · DL-EDGE · rank 76
Ashton Gillotte in pick 196 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.5 · Pick 197 · Tre Harris · WR · rank 45
Somehow Tre Harris was still sitting there in pick No. 197, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.9 · Pick 201 · Cam Ward · QB · rank 11
Steal is underselling it; Cam Ward at pick No. 201 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
R7.14 · Pick 206 · Wyatt Milum · OT · rank 40
Wyatt Milum in slot 206 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.15 · Pick 207 · Earnest Greene III · OT · rank 48
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Earnest Greene III in the 207th overall pick, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.17 · Pick 209 · Bryce Foster · C · rank 134
Bryce Foster at pick 209 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
