Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Turner: A.

The Patriots ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

Landing Turner that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The Christian Darrisaw pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the 24th pick is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They read the board right and Jalon Walker was the payoff at pick 38. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at pick No. 69 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins slid further than he should have, and No. 77 is lovely value for the running back. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick97 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at slot 97 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick145 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner in the 145th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
A linebacker of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick222 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
They did well to land Cam Horsley in No. 222, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick240 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks at the 240th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
