Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesC FutureB
The Patriots did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Somebody in the 217th pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Patriots sat still while Nicholas Singleton, the No. 97 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

If Horn Jr. pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick38 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon in slot 38 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A reach for Donovan Jackson in slot 69; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick104 Rnd4 Hayden Conner
A big swing on Hayden Conner at the 104th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick115 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
A wild overpay on Rylie Mills in Round 4, Pick 14, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick143 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson at No. 143 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jimmy Horn Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Jimmy Horn Jr. in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick187 Rnd6 Shilo Sanders
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Shilo Sanders. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick217 Rnd7 Nicholas Singleton
Circle this one: Nicholas Singleton at pick 217 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Kobe King
They barely believed it either: Kobe King still on the board at the 220th overall pick. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick238 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
This one needs a full-page explanation: Xavier Truss in slot 238, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
