Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots robbed the room for Tuten. Final grade: A.

The board owed the Patriots one, and it paid up: Bhayshul Tuten, the No. 153 name on the board, sitting there at Round 7, Pick 1 like a gift left on the doorstep. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Reaching for Hamilton left real value on the table behind him. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
Value with a capital V on Shemar Stewart in the 24th overall pick, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick38 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
A tidy bit of business in No. 38, where Malaki Starks graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 Xavier Restrepo
Fair-plus on Xavier Restrepo, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
They took Elijah Arroyo at par in slot 77, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick105 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They let Malachi Moore come to them and pounced at the Round 4 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick145 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
They will replay Ajani Cornelius at pick 145 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick219 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at pick No. 219 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick222 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
A premium they did not need to pay, Ty Hamilton a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick240 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
You do not let a running back like Trevor Etienne reach the 240th overall pick and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
