The Patriots won the night they stopped Wells Jr. from sliding. Grade: C-. The Patriots did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Antwane Wells Jr. fell into Round 7, Pick 4. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C-.
That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The veteran additions, Saquon Barkley chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.
So much rides on Travis Hunter that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
Travis Hunter at pick No. 2 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick4
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In slot 4 they get a three-down runner at fair value.
Pick69
Rnd3
Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum in the 69th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick106
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
Nothing to complain about; Jared Wilson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220
Rnd7
Antwane Wells Jr.
They barely believed it either: Antwane Wells Jr. still on the board at Round 7, Pick 4. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
