Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Watts: A-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Xavier Watts, the 77th pick, roughly 33 picks past where he belonged. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a workhorse for the backfield, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in the 38th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 17: Tyleik Williams for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Tre Harris slid further than he should have, and pick No. 69 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick77 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in slot 77 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander slipping to pick 106 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick144 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
They will replay Billy Bowman Jr. at the 144th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick193 Rnd6 Clay Webb
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Clay Webb. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick217 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
A conviction pick on Carson Vinson at the 217th overall pick that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
A premium they did not need to pay, Desmond Watson a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick232 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in Round 7, Pick 16 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick238 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
Fair-plus on Bilhal Kone, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
