New England Patriots

Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Restrepo: B-.

by Pats Hopeful · 2025 NFL Draft · 14 picks · 13 steals · 0 reaches
Value A
Need B
Trades D-
Future B

The Patriots did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Xavier Restrepo fell into Round 7, Pick 22. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.8 · Pick 8 · Travis Hunter · CB · rank 1
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a sticky cover corner. More want than need.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Wyatt Milum · OT · rank 13
Wyatt Milum in pick 36 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Walter Nolen · DT · rank 12
Steal is underselling it; Walter Nolen at the Round 2 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Isaiah Bond · WR · rank 32
They barely believed it either: Isaiah Bond still on the board at pick No. 67. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Kenneth Grant · DT · rank 26
Kenneth Grant in No. 69 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Tyler Booker · OG · rank 37
They will replay Tyler Booker at the 70th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.15 · Pick 79 · LT Overton · DE-EDGE · rank 52
LT Overton at the 79th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.4 · Pick 105 · Aireontae Ersery · OT · rank 55
They robbed the room for Aireontae Ersery here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
R5.1 · Pick 138 · Tre Harris · WR · rank 23
The board fumbled Tre Harris all the way to pick No. 138, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.9 · Pick 146 · Harold Fannin Jr. · TE · rank 35
A tight end of that caliber at slot 146 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.39 · Pick 214 · T.J. Sanders · DT · rank 27
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like T.J. Sanders reach the 214th overall pick and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.3 · Pick 219 · Zy Alexander · CB · rank 63
Somehow Zy Alexander was still sitting there in pick 219, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 40
Jihaad Campbell at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Xavier Restrepo · WR · rank 49
Xavier Restrepo at Round 7, Pick 22 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
