Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC- FutureA
The Patriots did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Patriots put a flag in the ground for Gino Garcia, 83 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Pearce Jr.. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 James Pearce Jr.
Somehow James Pearce Jr. was still sitting there in the 38th pick, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick45 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Circle this one: Colston Loveland at the 45th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick69 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
A quiet steal in pick 77: Cameron Williams for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Tory Horton
No drama and no debate, Tory Horton went about where he belonged in pick No. 106. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jake Majors
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 144, where Jake Majors graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jason Marshall Jr.
Nice patience on Jason Marshall Jr., who had no business lasting to the Round 7 slot. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick220 Rnd7 Gino Garcia
They talked themselves into Gino Garcia at Round 7, Pick 4, and the board did not agree. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick238 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
This one needs a full-page explanation: Drew Kendall in slot 238, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
