Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC- FutureB
The Patriots checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Patriots bet big and early on Jamaree Caldwell, 23 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They banked enough surplus on Loveland to cover a lot of smaller sins.

The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland slid further than he should have, and pick No. 38 is lovely value for the tight end. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick69 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Donovan Jackson in Round 3, Pick 5. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick72 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Demetrius Knight Jr. in pick 72. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
They paid a round early for Jordan Burch in the 77th pick, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jamaree Caldwell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jamaree Caldwell well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick144 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
A clean, defensible pick in the 144th pick with a little surplus value in Malachi Moore. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at the 171st overall pick is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick220 Rnd7 Addison West
Addison West at Round 7, Pick 4 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Desmond Watson. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
