Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Patriots.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Jalen Travis; the Patriots did not wait, grabbing him 73 spots ahead at the 220th overall pick. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

However the rest shakes out, Gadsden II at that price is a win they earned. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the 4th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. More want than need.
Pick38 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
Taking Ashton Jeanty in No. 38 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jack Sawyer
Nice patience on Jack Sawyer, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 5. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick80 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
They took Ozzy Trapilo at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick106 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
They jumped the gun on Anthony Belton, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick144 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
Nothing to complain about; Brashard Smith went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson in slot 171 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
A tight end of that caliber at pick 238 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
