Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The Patriots torched the value chart for Phillip Webb, taking him 112 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

On value alone, Alexander makes the weekend a net positive. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Christian Darrisaw deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a featured back. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Good price on Jalen Royals in No. 69, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick77 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
They did well to land Maxwell Hairston in the 77th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick106 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at pick 106 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick144 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
They will replay Darius Alexander at Round 5, Pick 6 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick220 Rnd7 Dayon Hayes
Dayon Hayes in pick No. 220 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick226 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
This one needs a full-page explanation: Phillip Webb in No. 226, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Jarquez Hunter in slot 238, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick251 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw in Round 7, Pick 35 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
