Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots let Paul Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Chris Paul Jr., the No. 118 name on the board, stolen at the 221st pick. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

If Alexander pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 3rd overall pick they get protection for the quarterback, though they paid up to get him.
Pick39 Rnd2 Zy Alexander
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zy Alexander. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick70 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tyleik Williams at slot 70. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Jack Bech at No. 80 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick106 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in pick No. 106 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jayden Higgins
A straight-up fair deal on Jayden Higgins at Round 5, Pick 3, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick221 Rnd7 Chris Paul Jr.
Somehow Chris Paul Jr. was still sitting there in the 221st pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick223 Rnd7 Clay Webb
A clean, defensible pick in pick 223 with a little surplus value in Clay Webb. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick235 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
They robbed the room for Ja'Quinden Jackson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
