Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Ayomanor: A-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Elic Ayomanor had no business being available in Round 5, Pick 1, and the Patriots did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The cost of the Hancock reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

In the end it comes back to Wyatt Milum, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In slot 19 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Nic Scourton
They took Nic Scourton at par in Round 2, Pick 1, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick36 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A straight-up fair deal on Tate Ratledge at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick43 Rnd2 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at pick No. 43 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick52 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Josh Conerly Jr.. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
A quiet steal in the 68th pick: Colston Loveland for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
A slide stopped in No. 86, with Jalen Royals worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They read the board right and Andrew Mukuba was the payoff at pick 94. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at Round 4, Pick 2 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in No. 125 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick139 Rnd5 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor in the 139th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick164 Rnd5 Kyle Monangai
A tidy little value on Kyle Monangai in pick No. 164, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
