Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Patriots.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Patriots did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to edge rusher, which was the need that mattered most. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In No. 4 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value.
Pick38 Rnd2 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
A straight-up fair deal on Jayden Higgins at slot 69, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in the 77th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
