Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Torricelli Simpkins III in pick 217, a good 47 spots before the room expected him. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Getting Marshall Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The phones were where this weekend was really won. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In slot 4 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. More want than need.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch in the 69th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick81 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 106 with a little surplus value in Jared Wilson. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick119 Rnd4 Kaimon Rucker
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kaimon Rucker well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick144 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Nothing to complain about; Malachi Moore went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick217 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
A big swing on Torricelli Simpkins III at pick No. 217, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick220 Rnd7 Simeon Barrow Jr.
Simeon Barrow Jr. in Round 7, Pick 4 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jason Marshall Jr.
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Jason Marshall Jr. in pick 238, plain and simple. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
