Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The phones sank the Patriots this weekend: B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Xavier Truss at pick 222. The Patriots jumped the board by 72 and dared it to prove them wrong. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Pierce at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In No. 25 they get a mismatch in the passing game, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
A conviction pick on Aireontae Ersery at the 38th pick that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick58 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
They read the board right and JT Tuimoloau was the payoff at Round 2, Pick 26. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick69 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the 69th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jack Bech
They let Jack Bech come to them and pounced at pick 81. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick105 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
They reached into another round for Darius Alexander, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
A premium they did not need to pay, Jeffrey Bassa a notch or two before his time. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick145 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
The board fumbled Hollin Pierce all the way to slot 145, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
They paid up for Jabbar Muhammad at the 219th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick222 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
They left a pile of value on the table to take Xavier Truss this early at pick No. 222. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick240 Rnd7 Gino Garcia
They talked themselves into Gino Garcia at Round 7, Pick 22, and the board did not agree. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
