Draft Grade — Patriots

FutureB-
The Patriots turned the phones into found money: A-. There is reaching, and then there is Lorenzo Styles Jr. at the Round 7 slot. The Patriots jumped the board by 188 and dared it to prove them wrong.
The Gillotte value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
With quarterback unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Malaki Starks and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Kelvin Banks Jr.
Kelvin Banks Jr. at slot 24 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick26
Rnd1
Malaki Starks
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill hitter at safety, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41
Rnd2
Travis Hunter
Travis Hunter in No. 41 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick56
Rnd2
Colston Loveland
You do not let a tight end like Colston Loveland reach the 56th pick and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick63
Rnd2
Jabbar Muhammad
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Jabbar Muhammad adds a cornerback and leaves quarterback untouched.
Pick66
Rnd3
Kenneth Grant
Taking Kenneth Grant in the 66th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick90
Rnd3
Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at the 90th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick95
Rnd3
Oscar Delp
Circle this one: Oscar Delp at the 95th pick is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick100
Rnd4
Elic Ayomanor
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 100 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick130
Rnd5
Sonny Styles
The board fumbled Sonny Styles all the way to pick No. 130, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick174
Rnd6
Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick222
Rnd7
Lorenzo Styles Jr.
A big swing on Lorenzo Styles Jr. at slot 222, well ahead of any board in the building. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
