Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Patriots a B+.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Patriots shredded theirs for Isaac TeSlaa. He came off 69 spots early, and the room will hear about it. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Alexander.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In No. 11 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
Josh Conerly Jr. at pick No. 38 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick45 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku at the 45th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick69 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
A slide stopped in slot 69, with TreVeyon Henderson worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick77 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
Taking Azareye'h Thomas in pick 77 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick117 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Somehow Darius Alexander was still sitting there in the 117th overall pick, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
A clean, defensible pick in slot 144 with a little surplus value in Malachi Moore. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick171 Rnd5 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in No. 171 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick220 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
A wild overpay on Teddye Buchanan in the 220th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris at pick No. 227 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen Travis this early at the 232nd pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ja'Corey Brooks. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
