Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots let Winston Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Call it larceny. Kevin Winston Jr. sat on the board until No. 157, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Reaching for Harris left real value on the table behind him.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the 4th overall pick they get a building block for the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at the Round 2 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins is a better player than slot 69 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick92 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
They read the board right and Mason Taylor was the payoff at No. 92. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jordan Burch in pick No. 100. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick105 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams slid further than he should have, and Round 4, Pick 4 is lovely value for the wide receiver. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick145 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Circle this one: Smael Mondon Jr. at pick 145 is a fall that decides a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick157 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Kevin Winston Jr. at the 157th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jason Marshall Jr.
Somehow Jason Marshall Jr. was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at Round 7, Pick 4 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
Value with a capital V on Jarquez Hunter in pick No. 240, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
