Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots let Judkins fall and pounced. Final grade: A-.

The Patriots spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Quinshon Judkins, the No. 70 name on the board, in pick No. 158. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.

Reaching for Spraggins left real value on the table behind him. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Bottom line, with Aireontae Ersery leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Aireontae Ersery
In the 30th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
A safety of that caliber at slot 38 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
You do not let a tight end like Tyler Warren reach the 45th pick and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A quiet steal in No. 54: Jihaad Campbell for less than the market said. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals in the Round 3 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Nothing to complain about; Jayden Higgins went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Emery Jones Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Emery Jones Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick104 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
A conviction pick on Joshua Farmer at pick No. 104 that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick143 Rnd5 Sebastian Castro
They will replay Sebastian Castro at pick 143 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick158 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
They barely believed it either: Quinshon Judkins still on the board at pick No. 158. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick169 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Chris Paul Jr. at the 169th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick217 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
They liked Seth McLaughlin enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 217. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in Round 7, Pick 4 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick232 Rnd7 Javontez Spraggins
Javontez Spraggins at the 232nd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 7 slot with a little surplus value in Jake Briningstool. It fills a real need, too.
