Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Patriots.

The tape said wait; the Patriots did not. Kalil Alexander went at pick 189, a good 29 picks before the board was ready. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Fifita pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Chris Bell
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy in the Round 2 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jude Bowry
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jude Bowry this early at pick No. 94. The roster fit checks out.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
A quiet steal in the 125th overall pick: Tacario Davis for less than the market said. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick130 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Michael Trigg at the 130th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Eric McAlister
They took Eric McAlister at par in pick 168, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick189 Rnd6 Kalil Alexander
They reached into another round for Kalil Alexander, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick200 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at pick 200 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jamal Haynes
No edge and no loss on Jamal Haynes in the 207th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick209 Rnd6 Noah Fifita
Noah Fifita at the Round 6 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Hall at the 246th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
