Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall
B-
ValueA
NeedB-
TradesC
FutureC
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Bech: B-. Somebody in pick No. 254 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Patriots sat still while Jack Bech, the No. 71 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.
The Patriots indulged a want in Barron while a need in safety and quarterback stayed open. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value.
Pick38
Rnd2
Ashton Jeanty
Taking Ashton Jeanty in pick 38 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick48
Rnd2
Shemar Stewart
Shemar Stewart at No. 48 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick50
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the Round 2 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick104
Rnd4
Armand Membou
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Armand Membou in the 104th pick, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick110
Rnd4
Colston Loveland
The board fumbled Colston Loveland all the way to slot 110, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick117
Rnd4
Jahdae Barron
They bypassed pressing needs at safety and quarterback to take Jahdae Barron, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick143
Rnd5
Tre Harris
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 143rd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick191
Rnd6
Wyatt Milum
You do not let an offensive lineman like Wyatt Milum reach Round 6, Pick 16 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick217
Rnd7
T.J. Sanders
Circle this one: T.J. Sanders at pick 217 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick220
Rnd7
Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart in the 220th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick238
Rnd7
Quinshon Judkins
They barely believed it either: Quinshon Judkins still on the board at the 238th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick254
Rnd7
Jack Bech
Jack Bech in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
