Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-.

Some picks age like wine; Xavier Truss at slot 238 will need to, sitting 53 spots clear of his grade.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Landing Marks that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Christian Darrisaw deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Bottom line, with Nic Scourton leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a premier pass rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Booker. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
No drama and no debate, Jayden Higgins went about where he belonged in the 69th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick77 Rnd3 Deone Walker
By-the-book stuff, Deone Walker at the 77th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in pick 106 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick144 Rnd5 Ben Sauls
The board had cheaper options than Ben Sauls at pick No. 144, and it noticed. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick217 Rnd7 Woody Marks
You do not let a running back like Woody Marks reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
They reached a country mile for Jabbar Muhammad at the 220th pick, and the board is aghast. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick238 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
They left a pile of value on the table to take Xavier Truss this early at the 238th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
