Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall
F
ValueC+
NeedB
TradesF
FutureF
The Patriots left with their quarterback, and a F to match. Some picks age like wine; Jabbar Muhammad at slot 122 will need to, sitting 115 spots clear of his grade.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Whatever Jaxson Dart becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. Fannin Jr. at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.
The verdict is harsh because the weekend was, and there is little to argue.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Jaxson Dart
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a passer to set the clock by, a steep price for the projection.
Pick14
Rnd1
James Pearce Jr.
In pick 14 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jalon Walker at the 38th overall pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick44
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
The board fumbled Malaki Starks all the way to slot 44, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick63
Rnd2
Tre Harris
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tre Harris in pick No. 63. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick66
Rnd3
Xavier Watts
You do not let a safety like Xavier Watts reach No. 66 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in pick No. 69 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick74
Rnd3
Jordan Burch
They paid up for Jordan Burch at the 74th pick when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick76
Rnd3
Harold Fannin Jr.
They barely believed it either: Harold Fannin Jr. still on the board at pick 76. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick77
Rnd3
Cameron Williams
A quiet steal in Round 3, Pick 13: Cameron Williams for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick85
Rnd3
Chris Paul Jr.
A tidy little value on Chris Paul Jr. in the 85th overall pick, a step better than break-even. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick87
Rnd3
Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in No. 87 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick90
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
They went early on Cam Skattebo in slot 90, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick101
Rnd3
Xavier Restrepo
No drama and no debate, Xavier Restrepo went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick106
Rnd4
Tai Felton
Tai Felton slid further than he should have, and the 106th overall pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick122
Rnd4
Jabbar Muhammad
They reached a country mile for Jabbar Muhammad at slot 122, and the board is aghast. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick144
Rnd5
Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick217
Rnd7
Tahj Brooks
Somehow Tahj Brooks was still sitting there in pick No. 217, and they pounced on premier running back value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick220
Rnd7
Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray in pick 220 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick232
Rnd7
Cam Jackson
A clean, defensible pick in Round 7, Pick 16 with a little surplus value in Cam Jackson. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick238
Rnd7
Sam Brown Jr.
They paid a round early for Sam Brown Jr. in the 238th pick, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick251
Rnd7
Andrew Armstrong
Andrew Armstrong at No. 251 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
