Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Patriots.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Drew Kendall; the Patriots did not wait, grabbing him 55 spots ahead at pick No. 238. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

That Royals pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tetairoa McMillan
They will replay Tetairoa McMillan at the 38th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at slot 69 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick77 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at No. 77 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals at pick 106 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick144 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at the 144th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick217 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
No drama and no debate, Alijah Huzzie went about where he belonged in slot 217. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
A tidy bit of business in the Round 7 slot, where Jay Higgins graded well above the range. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick238 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
This one needs a full-page explanation: Drew Kendall in the 238th pick, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
