Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots robbed the room for Hunter. Final grade: B+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jarquez Hunter had no business being available in pick 220, and the Patriots did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The Smith reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Armand Membou
Armand Membou slipping to Round 1, Pick 24 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick38 Rnd2 Mike Green
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Mike Green in No. 38. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
They took Jayden Higgins at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick81 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
A running back of that caliber at pick 81 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick106 Rnd4 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at slot 106 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
They read the board right and Malachi Moore was the payoff at the 144th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick193 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at pick No. 193 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick217 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
They barely believed it either: Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson still on the board at the 217th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick238 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
They reached a country mile for Donovan Smith at the 238th pick, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
