Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Martinez: B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Damien Martinez, Round 7, Pick 1, roughly 61 picks past where he belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The Terence Steele deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In the 12th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Landon Jackson at slot 38, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick44 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
A slide stopped in the Round 2 slot, with Malaki Starks worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick69 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at the 69th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
The board had Jalen Royals higher than pick No. 76, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
By-the-book stuff, Mason Taylor at No. 77 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick106 Rnd4 Dylan Sampson
Circle this one: Dylan Sampson at Round 4, Pick 4 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick144 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
A tidy little value on Malachi Moore in pick 144, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick149 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Nothing to complain about; Logan Brown went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick217 Rnd7 Damien Martinez
Taking Damien Martinez in Round 7, Pick 1 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220 Rnd7 Caleb Rogers
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 220 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
Bilhal Kone in the 238th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
