Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Edwards: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Donovan Edwards, the No. 204 name on the board, stolen at the 238th overall pick. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Ezeiruaku has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick No. 12 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
A tidy bit of business in the 38th pick, where Colston Loveland graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick44 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
They liked Donovan Ezeiruaku enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 2, Pick 12. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
No drama and no debate, Jayden Higgins went about where he belonged in slot 59. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
The board had TreVeyon Henderson higher than the 67th overall pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick106 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
They paid sticker price for Smael Mondon Jr. in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick192 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
A reasonable price with a little left over, JJ Pegues in No. 192. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick217 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
They let Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson come to them and pounced at pick 217. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick220 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw at No. 220 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in slot 238 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick247 Rnd7 Shemar James
Shemar James at the Round 7 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
