Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Patriots were there to profit. Jake Majors, the No. 93 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 140. This is how you run a draft, and the A reflects it.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

The Patriots clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.15 · Pick 15 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
In No. 15 they get an every-down engine for the run game, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Tate Ratledge · OG · rank 31
Tate Ratledge in pick No. 38 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.4 · Pick 105 · Andrew Mukuba · S · rank 72
Taking Andrew Mukuba in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.2 · Pick 140 · Jake Majors · C · rank 93
Jake Majors at Round 5, Pick 2 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.23 · Pick 237 · Shilo Sanders · S · rank 234
A clean, defensible pick in slot 237 with a little surplus value in Shilo Sanders. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
