Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots won the night they stopped Riley from sliding. Grade: B+.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Quincy Riley tumbling to the Patriots in the 238th overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The Justin Jefferson pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In slot 24 they get a mismatch in the passing game at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at pick No. 38 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick69 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
They took Cameron Williams at par in pick 69, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
No drama and no debate, Ozzy Trapilo went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Value with a capital V on Savion Williams in No. 106, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick144 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in the 144th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick217 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
They will replay Raheim Sanders at Round 7, Pick 1 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220 Rnd7 Upton Stout
Upton Stout at the 220th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238 Rnd7 Quincy Riley
A cornerback of that caliber at pick No. 238 is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
