Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The phones sank the Patriots this weekend: C+.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Patriots took Nick Nash at No. 142, roughly 118 spots before his name belonged.

On value alone, Perkins Jr. makes the weekend a net positive. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick40 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Nice patience on Jalon Walker, who had no business lasting to pick 40. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in the 43rd pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick45 Rnd2 Shemar Stewart
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Shemar Stewart. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick71 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in the 71st overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick77 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
You do not let a tight end like Colston Loveland reach No. 77 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick81 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They liked Donovan Jackson enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 3, Pick 17. The roster fit checks out.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. at slot 107 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick142 Rnd5 Nick Nash
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nick Nash. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
They did well to land Jonah Monheim in Round 7, Pick 8, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick236 Rnd7 Harold Perkins Jr.
Circle this one: Harold Perkins Jr. at the 236th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
