Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

The Patriots treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 238th overall pick on Garrett Dellinger a full 53 spots early. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

The Loveland pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
By-the-book stuff, Jalon Walker at pick 24 squarely in line with his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick38 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland slipping to pick No. 38 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
A straight-up fair deal on Elic Ayomanor at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They paid sticker price for Andrew Mukuba in the 77th overall pick, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jake Majors
They reached into another round for Jake Majors, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick144 Rnd5 RJ Harvey
This one needs a full-page explanation: RJ Harvey in Round 5, Pick 6, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick217 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Ricky White III in No. 217 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick220 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cam Horsley this early at the Round 7 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Garrett Dellinger. The roster fit checks out.
