The board owed the Patriots one, and it paid up: Wyatt Milum, the No. 36 name on the board, sitting there at Round 7, Pick 1 like a gift left on the doorstep.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
The Patriots paired the rookies with proven help, Garrett Wilson leading the way. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Ashton Jeanty and all.
Pick-by-Pick
Circle this one: Ashton Jeanty at pick 23 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Travis Hunter in pick No. 38 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor itch, scratched.
Somehow Jalon Walker was still sitting there in the 77th overall pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
You do not let an offensive lineman like Armand Membou reach slot 106 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Steal is underselling it; Wyatt Milum at No. 217 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Tre Harris in Round 7, Pick 4 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
A wide receiver of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
They robbed the room for Jack Bech here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
