Grand theft in pick No. 110: the Patriots steal Sainristil and grade out a A-.

When a board-topper like Mike Sainristil slides to pick 110, you do not overthink it, and the Patriots did not.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Spending an early pick on S-EDGE with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

In the end it comes back to Tyler Guyton, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In No. 32 they get a building block for the line, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
A premium they did not need to pay, J.J. McCarthy a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick64 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Nice patience on Kingsley Suamataia, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk in pick 68 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jacob Cowing
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jacob Cowing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick110 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
The board fumbled Mike Sainristil all the way to the 110th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
A surprising call. With edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots still to address, they spent pick No. 136 on Jalyx Hunt, a S-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick182 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis at Round 6, Pick 7 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick189 Rnd6 AJ Barner
They went early on AJ Barner in pick No. 189, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jawhar Jordan at Round 7, Pick 9 is the proof. The roster fit checks out.
