The rest of the league will want that one back. Travis Hunter tumbling to the Patriots in the 45th pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.
A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The Patriots paired the rookies with proven help, Treylon Burks leading the way.
They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.
In the end it comes back to Will Campbell, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
A quiet steal in slot 34: Colston Loveland for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Travis Hunter at the 45th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor itch, scratched.
Mitchell Evans in pick 66 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tahj Brooks in the Round 6 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Devin Neal slipping to the 194th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
