Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Tuten should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a B.

Somebody in the Round 7 slot was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Patriots sat still while Bhayshul Tuten, the No. 155 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 4th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Taking Tyler Warren in pick No. 38 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A clean, defensible pick in pick 69 with a little surplus value in Donovan Jackson. It fills a real need, too.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jack Bech
A quiet steal in Round 3, Pick 13: Jack Bech for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Nothing to complain about; Cam Skattebo went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick144 Rnd5 Quinn Ewers
You do not let a quarterback like Quinn Ewers reach slot 144 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick217 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Steal is underselling it; Bhayshul Tuten at the 217th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson in No. 220 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Alex Mastromanno
Nice patience on Alex Mastromanno, who had no business lasting to the Round 7 slot. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
