Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Patriots: B-.

The Jordan Travis selection is the head-turner. The Patriots reached 35 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. Landing Alexander that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
Olumuyiwa Fashanu at pick 11 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick35 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at the 35th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
No edge and no loss on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in No. 43; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick67 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in the 67th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jordan Travis well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick107 Rnd4 AJ Barner
AJ Barner at pick No. 107 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick111 Rnd4 Cade Stover
Value said wait; Cade Stover in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick140 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at the 140th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick181 Rnd6 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at pick 181 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick224 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
A wild overpay on Frank Gore Jr. in No. 224, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick232 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at pick No. 232 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
