Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesD- FutureA+
The Patriots bled value on every deal, hence the C+.

There is reaching, and then there is Nick Nash at No. 126. The Patriots jumped the board by 125 and dared it to prove them wrong.

On value alone, Arroyo makes the weekend a net positive. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In slot 13 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Booker. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick43 Rnd2 Shemar Stewart
They liked Shemar Stewart enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 2 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick79 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in pick 79 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick89 Rnd3 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Value said wait; Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the 89th pick says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick106 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
A slide stopped in the 106th overall pick, with Tez Johnson worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick126 Rnd4 Nick Nash
Nick Nash in pick 126 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick141 Rnd5 Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Nohl Williams
A real head-scratcher, Nohl Williams in Round 5, Pick 11 is miles ahead of his ranking. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick150 Rnd5 Carson Schwesinger
You do not let a linebacker like Carson Schwesinger reach No. 150 and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick164 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
They reached a country mile for Anthony Belton at the 164th pick, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jalen Rivers
A wild overpay on Jalen Rivers in pick No. 221, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick223 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
They will replay Cam Skattebo at slot 223 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick235 Rnd7 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in the 235th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
