Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Hunter: A-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jarquez Hunter had no business being available in the Round 7 slot, and the Patriots did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Reaching for TeSlaa left real value on the table behind him. It is not that Mondon Jr. is a bad player; it is that the Patriots had louder needs to answer first.

The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In No. 20 they get a mismatch in the passing game. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in pick No. 38 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick45 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon in the Round 2 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Nothing to complain about; Aireontae Ersery went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick69 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in the 69th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins is a better player than pick 77 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Smael Mondon Jr. while clear needs at safety and quarterback sat open.
Pick122 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
A conviction pick on Hollin Pierce at slot 122 that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jah Joyner
A reach on Jah Joyner in the 144th pick; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick208 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
A wild overpay on Isaac TeSlaa in Round 6, Pick 32, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick217 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Circle this one: Tahj Brooks at No. 217 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
You do not let a running back like Jarquez Hunter reach pick 220 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick232 Rnd7 Robert Longerbeam
Robert Longerbeam slid further than he should have, and pick No. 232 is lovely value for the cornerback. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick238 Rnd7 Zeek Biggers
They liked Zeek Biggers enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 7 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
