Draft Grade — Patriots

FutureA
The Patriots won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jalen Travis at No. 238, a reach of 51 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. On value alone, Starks makes the weekend a net positive. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.
In the end it comes back to Will Johnson, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Will Johnson
In pick No. 23 they get a sticky cover corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick38
Rnd2
Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at the Round 2 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick45
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Emeka Egbuka at slot 45 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick54
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in the 54th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69
Rnd3
Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow in No. 69 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick87
Rnd3
Cameron Williams
They robbed the room for Cameron Williams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick90
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
Fair-plus on Ozzy Trapilo, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick101
Rnd3
Devin Neal
Devin Neal in pick No. 101 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick106
Rnd4
Tory Horton
They took Tory Horton at par in slot 106, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick144
Rnd5
Tyler Baron
They paid up for Tyler Baron at the Round 5 slot when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick159
Rnd5
Ben Sauls
A straight-up fair deal on Ben Sauls at the 159th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick198
Rnd6
Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser slid further than he should have, and pick 198 is lovely value for the linebacker. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick217
Rnd7
Jay Higgins
A slide stopped in No. 217, with Jay Higgins worth more than the price. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick220
Rnd7
Addison West
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Addison West at the 220th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick232
Rnd7
Cam Horsley
They went early on Cam Horsley in Round 7, Pick 16, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick238
Rnd7
Jalen Travis
They reached a country mile for Jalen Travis at No. 238, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
