Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueC- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots turned the phones into found money: B+.

The Patriots torched the value chart for Mitchell Evans, taking him 118 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.

The Patriots paired the rookies with proven help, Joe Alt leading the way.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Jordan Burch
A conviction pick on Jordan Burch at pick 36 that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Drew Allar
By-the-book stuff, Drew Allar at No. 67 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick85 Rnd3 Riley Mahlman
A premium they did not need to pay, Riley Mahlman a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Connor Colby
They reached into another round for Connor Colby, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick110 Rnd4 Shemar Stewart
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Shemar Stewart. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139 Rnd5 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick154 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
They left a pile of value on the table to take Mitchell Evans this early at pick 154. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick205 Rnd6 Trevor Etienne
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trevor Etienne well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jason Henderson
They paid sticker price for Jason Henderson in the Round 7 slot, and that is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick220 Rnd7 Alfred Collins
This one needs a full-page explanation: Alfred Collins in Round 7, Pick 6, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
A big swing on Jack Kiser at the 235th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
