Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 222 lands the Patriots a B-, Pegues and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: JJ Pegues, slot 222, roughly 46 picks past where he belonged. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Smith reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 4th overall pick they get a three-down runner. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
They paid a round early for Aireontae Ersery in slot 38, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick69 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
No edge and no loss on Elijah Arroyo in Round 3, Pick 5; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick77 Rnd3 Darien Porter
They paid sticker price for Darien Porter in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick105 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in the 105th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick145 Rnd5 Tory Horton
Tory Horton in pick No. 145 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick219 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
They took Cam Horsley at par in No. 219, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick222 Rnd7 JJ Pegues
The board fumbled JJ Pegues all the way to pick 222, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
A conviction pick on Jaylin Smith at Round 7, Pick 22 that the board grades a round light. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
