Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Patriots got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D+.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Patriots started one anyway for Jahvaree Ritzie, 47 picks ahead of schedule.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Horton.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In No. 17 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
Josh Conerly Jr. at pick 38 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jalon Walker in Round 2, Pick 25, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick99 Rnd3 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard in pick No. 99 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick106 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
Taking Ozzy Trapilo in the 106th pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick130 Rnd4 LeQuint Allen
No drama and no debate, LeQuint Allen went about where he belonged in the 130th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick144 Rnd5 Tory Horton
Tory Horton at Round 5, Pick 6 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.
Pick149 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in pick 149 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick220 Rnd7 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
They robbed the room for KeAndre Lambert-Smith here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick222 Rnd7 Ahmed Hassanein
A reach on Ahmed Hassanein in No. 222; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jahvaree Ritzie
Jahvaree Ritzie in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis at the 247th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
