New England Patriots

The Patriots worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

Future B-

The Patriots bet big and early on Lorenzo Styles Jr., 192 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

That is a quarterback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

It is not that Hunter is a bad player; it is that the Patriots had louder needs to answer first. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.2 · Pick 34 · Malaki Starks · S · rank 16
Malaki Starks at No. 34 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Will Johnson · CB · rank 2
Somehow Will Johnson was still sitting there in Round 2, Pick 3, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · Travis Hunter · CB · rank 3
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Travis Hunter in pick No. 59 leaves edge rusher for later.
R3.8 · Pick 72 · Kenneth Grant · DT · rank 31
Kenneth Grant in slot 72 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Quinshon Judkins · RB · rank 22
Quinshon Judkins at the 77th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Tyleik Williams · DT · rank 32
Tyleik Williams in the 78th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.2 · Pick 98 · Mitchell Evans · TE · rank 49
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Mitchell Evans in slot 98, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
R4.13 · Pick 109 · Oscar Delp · TE · rank 130
Oscar Delp in the 109th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.26 · Pick 122 · Sonny Styles · S · rank 83
Sonny Styles at No. 122 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.26 · Pick 154 · Tre Harris · WR · rank 35
You do not let a wide receiver like Tre Harris reach pick 154 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.26 · Pick 186 · J.C. Davis · OT · rank 104
Circle this one: J.C. Davis at Round 6, Pick 26 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.2 · Pick 194 · Garrett Nussmeier · QB · rank 63
A quarterback of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.19 · Pick 211 · Lorenzo Styles Jr. · CB · rank 403
They left a pile of value on the table to take Lorenzo Styles Jr. this early at the 211th pick. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R7.26 · Pick 218 · Xavier Restrepo · WR · rank 117
They will replay Xavier Restrepo at pick No. 218 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
