Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesB FutureA+
The Patriots won the night they stopped Tuten from sliding. Grade: B+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Bhayshul Tuten got past him. The Patriots do not have to explain a thing at pick 196. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

The Buchanan reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick38 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
They took Josh Conerly Jr. at par in pick 38, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
A straight-up fair deal on Elijah Arroyo at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in the 106th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick119 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at slot 119 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick144 Rnd5 Denzel Burke
The board fumbled Denzel Burke all the way to the 144th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick193 Rnd6 Karene Reid
They paid up for Karene Reid at No. 193 when waiting would have done the job. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick196 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in pick No. 196 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick217 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Teddye Buchanan well ahead of where he belonged. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick220 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
A conviction pick on Cam Jackson at the 220th overall pick that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
Somehow Kobe Hudson 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.
Pick244 Rnd7 Akili Arnold
Circle this one: Akili Arnold at Round 7, Pick 28 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
