You build a draft on nights like this. Michael Wiley had no business being available in No. 229, and the Patriots did the only sane thing and turned in the card. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Every board in the league had Sanders lower, and that gap is the story.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.8 · Pick 8 · Rome Odunze · WR · rank 11
By-the-book stuff, Rome Odunze at slot 8 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 39
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Guyton at Round 2, Pick 2, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Kris Jenkins · DL-EDGE · rank 43
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kris Jenkins. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Ja'Tavion Sanders · TE · rank 54
They jumped the gun on Ja'Tavion Sanders, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 38
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and T.J. Tampa at the Round 2 slot is the proof. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 74
Johnny Wilson in the 68th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Blake Fisher · OT · rank 99
Blake Fisher at pick No. 104 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Audric Estime · RB · rank 97
Audric Estime is a better player than the 108th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.36 · Pick 136 · Jordan Travis · QB · rank 137
No edge and no loss on Jordan Travis in the 136th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
R6.7 · Pick 182 · Jaylin Simpson · CB · rank 154
They robbed the room for Jaylin Simpson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R7.9 · Pick 229 · Michael Wiley · RB · rank 198
A running back of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
