Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA
The Patriots worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-.

The Patriots ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They banked enough surplus on Walker to cover a lot of smaller sins.

The Tyler Smith deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Value with a capital V on Jalon Walker in the 38th pick, a genuine coup. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at pick 69 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Good price on Maxwell Hairston in the 77th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick106 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. slipping to Round 4, Pick 4 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Fair-plus on Hollin Pierce, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick217 Rnd7 Simeon Barrow Jr.
No drama and no debate, Simeon Barrow Jr. went about where he belonged in slot 217. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
A slide stopped in pick No. 220, with Luke Lachey worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick238 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
Bilhal Kone at pick No. 238 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
