Gillotte should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a A-. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Patriots were there to profit. Ashton Gillotte, the No. 35 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 120. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.
In the end it comes back to Malaki Starks, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Malaki Starks
Nice patience on Malaki Starks, who had no business lasting to pick No. 26. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick41
Rnd2
Travis Hunter
Circle this one: Travis Hunter at pick 41 is a fall that decides a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick55
Rnd2
Colston Loveland
The board fumbled Colston Loveland all the way to the 55th pick, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick66
Rnd3
Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in Round 3, Pick 2 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick90
Rnd3
Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick91
Rnd3
Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in No. 91 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick98
Rnd4
Oscar Delp
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Oscar Delp in the 98th overall pick, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick120
Rnd4
Ashton Gillotte
They robbed the room for Ashton Gillotte here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick121
Rnd4
Aireontae Ersery
They did well to land Aireontae Ersery in the Round 4 slot, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick130
Rnd5
Damien Martinez
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Damien Martinez at No. 130 is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
