Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Patriots won the night they stopped Lachey from sliding. Grade: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Luke Lachey, pick 222, roughly 32 picks past where he belonged.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The cost of the Pegues reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A quiet steal in slot 34: Jalon Walker for less than the market said. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick38 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Taking Nick Emmanwori in pick 38 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick65 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
No drama and no debate, Quinshon Judkins went about where he belonged in No. 65. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at the 69th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Nothing to complain about; Maxwell Hairston went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
They let Jaylin Noel come to them and pounced at the Round 4 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick145 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Circle this one: Billy Bowman Jr. at Round 5, Pick 6 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick150 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
This one needs a full-page explanation: JJ Pegues in pick No. 150, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick219 Rnd7 Addison West
They will replay Addison West at slot 219 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick222 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
You do not let a tight end like Luke Lachey reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick240 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
Cody Lindenberg in Round 7, Pick 22 is fair value, right on his grade. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
