Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots robbed the room for Horton. Final grade: A.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Tory Horton, the 144th pick, roughly 37 picks past where he belonged.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want.

They are betting Watson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The veteran additions, Adonai Mitchell chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Ashton Jeanty and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In slot 15 they get a problem off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick20 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a workhorse for the backfield, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins slipping to pick No. 69 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at pick 76 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams in the 80th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
Value with a capital V on Zy Alexander in the Round 4 slot, a genuine coup. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick144 Rnd5 Tory Horton
Tory Horton at No. 144 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick217 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
A premium they did not need to pay, Desmond Watson a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick239 Rnd7 Shemar James
No edge and no loss on Shemar James in pick No. 239; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
