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

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Patriots watched Dominic Zvada slide 143 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

The Jones Jr. pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
A straight-up fair deal on Tetairoa McMillan at No. 6, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Value with a capital V on Jalon Walker in pick No. 37, a genuine coup. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick38 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Somehow Luther Burden III was still sitting there in the Round 2 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
They will replay Tyler Warren at the 69th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick77 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
They paid sticker price for Omarr Norman-Lott in slot 77, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick104 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
They talked themselves into Emery Jones Jr. at the 104th pick, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick143 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
They barely believed it either: Danny Stutsman still on the board at Round 5, Pick 6. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick178 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
A running back of that caliber at pick 178 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at the 216th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Jordan Hancock in slot 217, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick220 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne in No. 220 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick238 Rnd7 Dominic Zvada
Dominic Zvada in pick 238 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
