Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots won the night they stopped Leonard from sliding. Grade: A.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Riley Leonard got past him. The Patriots do not have to explain a thing at the 215th overall pick.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the 25th pick they get a matchup problem out wide, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Steal is underselling it; Walter Nolen at slot 38 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander slid further than he should have, and the 69th overall pick is lovely value for the cornerback. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick77 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
You do not let a tight end like Harold Fannin Jr. reach No. 77 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick105 Rnd4 Devin Neal
Circle this one: Devin Neal at pick 105 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick124 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
They robbed the room for Ozzy Trapilo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick159 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
They will replay Ajani Cornelius at pick No. 159 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick164 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Smael Mondon Jr. in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick215 Rnd6 Riley Leonard
The board fumbled Riley Leonard all the way to pick 215, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at Round 7, Pick 4 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter at pick No. 240 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick253 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
A slide stopped in No. 253, with Miles Frazier worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
