Ckl1969 DRAFTING FOR THEPatriots

Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall

FutureA+
The Patriots robbed the room for Sanders. Final grade: A. The Patriots did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and T.J. Sanders fell into Round 7, Pick 1. This is how you run a draft, and the A reflects it.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.
The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.
It is a haul that will look even better come September.
Pick Analysis
Pick38
Rnd2
Travis Hunter
They barely believed it either: Travis Hunter still on the board at slot 38. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick45
Rnd2
Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at pick No. 45 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick69
Rnd3
Tre Harris
You do not let a wide receiver like Tre Harris reach Round 3, Pick 5 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick77
Rnd3
Ashton Jeanty
The board fumbled Ashton Jeanty all the way to No. 77, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick80
Rnd3
Aireontae Ersery
Taking Aireontae Ersery in pick 80 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick104
Rnd4
Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in the 104th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick106
Rnd4
Jayden Higgins
Somehow Jayden Higgins was still sitting there in the 106th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick143
Rnd5
Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick217
Rnd7
T.J. Sanders
Steal is underselling it; T.J. Sanders at Round 7, Pick 1 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick220
Rnd7
Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238
Rnd7
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the 238th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
