Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC FutureB
The Patriots won the night they stopped Evans from sliding. Grade: B-.

When a board-topper like Mitchell Evans slides to No. 218, you do not overthink it, and the Patriots did not. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

If Kendall pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In pick 12 they get a building block for the line at fair value.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker slipping to No. 38 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Value said wait; Jayden Higgins in the 44th pick says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Fair-plus on Quinshon Judkins, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
A real head-scratcher, Jaylin Noel in the Round 3 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick106 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at pick No. 106 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
Somehow Jordan Phillips was still sitting there in the 144th overall pick, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick218 Rnd7 Mitchell Evans
Taking Mitchell Evans in Round 7, Pick 2 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick220 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Steal is underselling it; Bhayshul Tuten at the 220th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick238 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens at No. 238 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick242 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Drew Kendall well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
