Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueA NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Patriots spent the 211th pick on Lorenzo Styles Jr., a name most had 192 spots down the list. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

Nussmeier at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Patriots paired the rookies with proven help, Joe Alt leading the way.

In the end it comes back to Malaki Starks, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Malaki Starks in the 36th pick, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick46 Rnd2 Travis Hunter
Travis Hunter at the 46th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick56 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Taking Colston Loveland in pick No. 56 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick78 Rnd3 Kenneth Grant
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Kenneth Grant reach pick 78 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick88 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at No. 88 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
A reasonable price with a little left over, Sonny Styles in the Round 3 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick100 Rnd4 Ashton Gillotte
The board fumbled Ashton Gillotte all the way to Round 4, Pick 4, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick117 Rnd4 Mitchell Evans
They barely believed it either: Mitchell Evans still on the board at the 117th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick130 Rnd5 Walter Nolen
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 130 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick142 Rnd5 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in the 142nd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick194 Rnd7 J.C. Davis
Circle this one: J.C. Davis at No. 194 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick211 Rnd7 Lorenzo Styles Jr.
Lorenzo Styles Jr. at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick218 Rnd7 Garrett Nussmeier
Garrett Nussmeier in pick 218 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
