Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB+ FutureA
More right than wrong for the Patriots, and a B+ to prove it.

Nobody else had Jalen Travis anywhere near slot 238. The Patriots did, by 55 spots, and that gap is the whole story. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

On value alone, Shough makes the weekend a net positive. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They barely believed it either: Tyler Warren still on the board at the Round 2 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They read the board right and Jalon Walker was the payoff at pick No. 41. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick69 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at pick 69 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick106 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams is a better player than No. 106 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick144 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
You do not let a quarterback like Tyler Shough reach slot 144 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
They went early on Bhayshul Tuten in No. 149, and the value did not follow. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick171 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ajani Cornelius. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at slot 220 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A straight-up fair deal on Isaac TeSlaa at Round 7, Pick 17, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
