Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Patriots worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

The Andrew Mukuba pick is the one that will follow the Patriots into the fall. They took him 40 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Landing Nesbit that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Tre Harris
They paid a round early for Tre Harris in pick 35, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
A straight-up fair deal on Jonah Savaiinaea at slot 36, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick39 Rnd2 Elic Ayomanor
A wild overpay on Elic Ayomanor in the 39th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67 Rnd3 Bryson Nesbit
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Bryson Nesbit in the 67th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Anthony Belton
A conviction pick on Anthony Belton at No. 69 that the board grades a round light. The roster fit checks out.
Pick99 Rnd4 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in Round 4, Pick 3 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick101 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at pick 101 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick131 Rnd5 Tahj Brooks
Value said wait; Tahj Brooks in slot 131 says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick195 Rnd7 Tyler Van Dyke
No edge and no loss on Tyler Van Dyke in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
