Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Patriots: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Patriots started one anyway for Gino Garcia, 67 picks ahead of schedule. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a bell-cow for the offense at fair value.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Value with a capital V on Jalon Walker in pick No. 38, a genuine coup. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tre Harris
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tre Harris in the Round 3 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in pick 77 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in No. 106 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in slot 144 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick217 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson slid further than he should have, and the 217th overall pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick220 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
Donovan Smith in No. 220 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Gino Garcia
A big swing on Gino Garcia at Round 7, Pick 22, well ahead of any board in the building. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
