Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Patriots, and a B- to prove it.

Nobody had Jordan Travis this high, and it is not close. The Patriots reached 61 spots to get him at Round 3, Pick 13.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Roberts.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the 2nd pick they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
The board had cheaper options than Troy Fautanu at slot 34, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jordan Travis
A real head-scratcher, Jordan Travis in Round 3, Pick 13 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick105 Rnd4 Tory Horton
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tory Horton. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick115 Rnd4 Ray Davis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ray Davis well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick139 Rnd5 Braden Fiske
This one needs a full-page explanation: Braden Fiske in pick 139, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson slid further than he should have, and pick No. 180 is lovely value for the cornerback. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick183 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
A wild overpay on Brevyn Spann-Ford in pick 183, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick223 Rnd7 Willie Roberts
A slide stopped in slot 223, with Willie Roberts worth more than the price. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick226 Rnd7 Benjamin Yurosek
Benjamin Yurosek at the 226th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
