Rob DRAFTING FOR THEPatriots

The Patriots robbed the room for Ward. Final grade: B+. The board owed the Patriots one, and it paid up: Cam Ward, the No. 7 name on the board, sitting there at pick 228 like a gift left on the doorstep.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They will need Ersery to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.
They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In the 11th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick24
Rnd1
Tyler Booker
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get an anchor for the offensive line, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick41
Rnd2
Wyatt Milum
A straight-up fair deal on Wyatt Milum at pick 41, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick50
Rnd2
Ashton Jeanty
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 50 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick57
Rnd2
Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at slot 57 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick72
Rnd3
Jahdae Barron
They will replay Jahdae Barron at the 72nd pick for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick85
Rnd3
Walter Nolen
Somehow Walter Nolen was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick92
Rnd3
Tre Harris
Tre Harris at No. 92 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick108
Rnd4
Aireontae Ersery
Value said wait; Aireontae Ersery in No. 108 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick144
Rnd5
Josaiah Stewart
They robbed the room for Josaiah Stewart here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick216
Rnd7
Kalel Mullings
You do not let a running back like Kalel Mullings reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick218
Rnd7
Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo in pick No. 218 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick228
Rnd7
Cam Ward
They barely believed it either: Cam Ward still on the board at Round 7, Pick 14. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
