TOMM DRAFTING FOR THEPatriots

FutureA
The Patriots lost the trade table, and the B- tells the story. The Patriots torched the value chart for Fadil Diggs, taking him 52 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The Ransaw value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Josh Conerly Jr.
In slot 23 they get an anchor for the offensive line, though they paid up to get him.
Pick38
Rnd2
Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III is a better player than the 38th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick54
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
Taking Omarion Hampton in pick No. 54 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick69
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at the 69th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87
Rnd3
Darien Porter
Darien Porter at No. 87 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick144
Rnd5
RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick191
Rnd6
Fadil Diggs
A real head-scratcher, Fadil Diggs in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick220
Rnd7
KeAndre Lambert-Smith
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 220 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick237
Rnd7
Caleb Ransaw
They robbed the room for Caleb Ransaw here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick238
Rnd7
Craig Woodson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Craig Woodson at pick No. 238. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
