Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC FutureA
A solid, sensible weekend for the Patriots: B.

The tape said wait; the Patriots did not. Elic Ayomanor went at Round 4, Pick 9, a good 26 picks before the board was ready. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jordan Burch
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jordan Burch. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67 Rnd3 Domani Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Domani Jackson at Round 3, Pick 3 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick72 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at the 72nd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick85 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
They did well to land Malachi Moore in the 85th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick108 Rnd4 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in No. 108 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick110 Rnd4 Elic Ayomanor
A big swing on Elic Ayomanor at the 110th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick144 Rnd5 Gunnar Helm
They paid up for Gunnar Helm at pick 144 when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick216 Rnd7 Jason Henderson
They took Jason Henderson at par in pick No. 216, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick218 Rnd7 Kyren Lacy
Fair-plus on Kyren Lacy, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jasheen Davis
They paid a round early for Jasheen Davis in slot 228, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
