Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Patriots: B.

The tape said wait; the Patriots did not. Jarquez Hunter went at pick 235, a good 118 picks before the board was ready. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The Slaughter pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Warren at No. 41 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick70 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at pick 70 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick80 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in the 80th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors is a better player than pick No. 106 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick141 Rnd5 Nicholas Singleton
They barely believed it either: Nicholas Singleton still on the board at the Round 5 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jake Slaughter
Circle this one: Jake Slaughter at slot 221 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick223 Rnd7 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at pick 223 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
They reached into another round for Jarquez Hunter, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick244 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
A premium they did not need to pay, Luke Lachey a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
