The Patriots looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Jawhar Jordan at the Round 7 slot regardless, 34 picks early.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.7 · Pick 7 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 27
In No. 7 they get a blindside protector, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
R1.27 · Pick 27 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 35
In the 27th pick they get a long-term starter on the line, even if it was a touch early.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · J.J. McCarthy · QB · rank 46
They went early on J.J. McCarthy in Round 2, Pick 2, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Roman Wilson · WR · rank 45
Roman Wilson in pick No. 38 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Cade Stover · TE · rank 85
They jumped the gun on Cade Stover, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 93
By-the-book stuff, Bucky Irving at pick 90 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Javon Baker · WR · rank 95
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Javon Baker in the Round 4 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 132
Ben Sinnott at the 107th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.36 · Pick 136 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 144
A premium they did not need to pay, Tommy Eichenberg a notch or two before his time. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R6.7 · Pick 182 · Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint · WR · rank 198
The board had cheaper options than Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at No. 182, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.13 · Pick 188 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 199
Joe Milton III at pick No. 188 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.9 · Pick 229 · Jawhar Jordan · RB · rank 263
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jawhar Jordan well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
