Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueA- NeedC+ TradesA+ FutureC
The Patriots let Gadsden II fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Patriots were there to profit. Oronde Gadsden II, the No. 128 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 220th overall pick.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The veteran additions, Micah Parsons chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In slot 4 they get a ballhawk on the outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
The board fumbled Jalon Walker all the way to pick 77, and they scooped it up. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick143 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
Circle this one: Quinshon Judkins at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Oronde Gadsden II in the 220th overall pick, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick238 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at Round 7, Pick 22 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
