The Patriots worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-. Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Patriots came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.
Sanders falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The Fairchild pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
In the end it comes back to Tre Harris, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
Tre Harris
In pick 29 they get a No. 1 receiver, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41
Rnd2
Dylan Fairchild
A big swing on Dylan Fairchild at the 41st pick, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick61
Rnd2
Jason Marshall Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Jason Marshall Jr. at pick No. 61 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick72
Rnd3
Colston Loveland
Nice patience on Colston Loveland, who had no business lasting to slot 72. The roster fit checks out.
Pick85
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
The board had cheaper options than Ozzy Trapilo at No. 85, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick114
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
They barely believed it either: Kevin Winston Jr. still on the board at Round 4, Pick 13. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick144
Rnd5
Raheim Sanders
A running back of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick186
Rnd6
Jeffrey Bassa
A straight-up fair deal on Jeffrey Bassa at the 186th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick216
Rnd7
Anthony Belton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Anthony Belton this early at pick No. 216. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick218
Rnd7
Haynes King
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Haynes King at No. 218. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick228
Rnd7
Kyren Lacy
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kyren Lacy at the Round 7 slot is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick248
Rnd7
Jay Toia
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jay Toia. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
