Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Patriots fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

The Patriots looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Jalen Travis at slot 238 regardless, 55 picks early. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

On value alone, Loveland makes the weekend a net positive.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty slipping to pick No. 14 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in Round 2, Pick 6 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick45 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
They barely believed it either: Colston Loveland still on the board at No. 45. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at pick 69 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick81 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
No edge and no loss on Ozzy Trapilo in the 81st pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Nice patience on Kevin Winston Jr., who had no business lasting to slot 106. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Tai Felton in the 119th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at Round 5, Pick 6 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A conviction pick on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at slot 171 that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick220 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
The board had cheaper options than Desmond Watson at pick 220, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis at the 238th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
