New England Patriots

The Patriots robbed the room for Gordon II. Final grade: A-.

Call it larceny. Ollie Gordon II sat on the board until pick No. 220, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

The Henderson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Luther Burden III and all.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.1 · Pick 33 · Luther Burden III · WR · rank 14
The board fumbled Luther Burden III all the way to pick 33, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Aireontae Ersery · OT · rank 46
A premium they did not need to pay, Aireontae Ersery a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Maxwell Hairston · CB · rank 73
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Maxwell Hairston. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Ashton Gillotte · DE-EDGE · rank 96
A real head-scratcher, Ashton Gillotte in the Round 3 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Jack Bech · WR · rank 66
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jack Bech at the 77th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.2 · Pick 104 · Gunnar Helm · TE · rank 89
A quiet steal in pick No. 104: Gunnar Helm for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.4 · Pick 106 · Charles Grant · OT · rank 91
They let Charles Grant come to them and pounced at No. 106. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.6 · Pick 144 · Kobe King · LB · rank 125
Kobe King in Round 5, Pick 6 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R7.1 · Pick 217 · Ty Hamilton · DT · rank 251
Ty Hamilton at No. 217 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Ollie Gordon II · RB · rank 171
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Ollie Gordon II in the 220th overall pick, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Xzavier Henderson · WR · rank 278
This one needs a full-page explanation: Xzavier Henderson in the Round 7 slot, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
