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

The real work happened on the phones. The Patriots fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

The Higgins pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They are betting Muhammad proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 4 they get a featured back. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Booker. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick69 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
They liked Ozzy Trapilo enough to skip the value, taking him in the 69th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick106 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at Round 4, Pick 4 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick144 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
No edge and no loss on Kurtis Rourke in pick No. 144; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin in No. 171 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
They read the board right and Jay Higgins was the payoff at the 220th pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad at pick 238 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It adds depth where they could use a little.
