Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Harris: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Tre Harris slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at slot 238. Highway robbery. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Royals pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In No. 4 they get a lockdown presence outside. More want than need.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals at the Round 2 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick69 Rnd3 Wyatt Milum
The board fumbled Wyatt Milum all the way to pick No. 69, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick77 Rnd3 Ashton Jeanty
They barely believed it either: Ashton Jeanty still on the board at the 77th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick104 Rnd4 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at Round 4, Pick 3 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in slot 143 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick217 Rnd7 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at the 217th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick220 Rnd7 T.J. Sanders
Circle this one: T.J. Sanders at pick 220 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tre Harris
Somehow Tre Harris was still sitting there in the 238th pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
