Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Stutsman: A-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Danny Stutsman got past him. The Patriots do not have to explain a thing at the 164th pick. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

The cost of the Zuhn III reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick45 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They read the board right and Tyler Booker was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jalon Walker in the 52nd overall pick, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick69 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in the 69th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick77 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in pick 77 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick80 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
They barely believed it either: Omarion Hampton still on the board at Round 3, Pick 16. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick118 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro in slot 118 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick123 Rnd4 Trey Zuhn III
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trey Zuhn III. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at pick No. 140 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick164 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick168 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They took Dont'e Thornton Jr. at par in Round 5, Pick 30, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick188 Rnd6 Antonio Williams
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Antonio Williams well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick219 Rnd7 Deion Burks
Deion Burks at pick No. 219 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick222 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
A real head-scratcher, De'Corian Clark in the 222nd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick237 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
Value said wait; Elijhah Badger in slot 237 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
