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

The tape said wait; the Patriots did not. Robbie Ouzts went at No. 238, a good 60 picks before the board was ready.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The veteran additions, Joe Alt chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in slot 38 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams at pick No. 69 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Nothing to complain about; Tai Felton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick124 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at No. 124 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick144 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
They did well to land LeQuint Allen in the 144th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick159 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at the Round 5 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick178 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
A wild overpay on KeAndre Lambert-Smith in the 178th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick217 Rnd7 Davin Vann
They reached into another round for Davin Vann, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick220 Rnd7 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse at No. 220 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick222 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at Round 7, Pick 6 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick238 Rnd7 Robbie Ouzts
This one needs a full-page explanation: Robbie Ouzts in the Round 7 slot, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
