Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureC
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Marshall Jr.: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jason Marshall Jr. slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at slot 220. Highway robbery. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They will need Parr to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Armand Membou
No edge and no loss on Armand Membou in the 15th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in slot 38 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick77 Rnd3 Xavier Restrepo
Nice patience on Xavier Restrepo, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 13. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick106 Rnd4 Devin Neal
A running back of that caliber at No. 106 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick144 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Billy Bowman Jr. at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick217 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Circle this one: Luke Lachey at the 217th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jason Marshall Jr.
They robbed the room for Jason Marshall Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick238 Rnd7 Logan Parr
Logan Parr in pick No. 238 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
