Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots land in the muddy middle: C+.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Patriots would have aced it. Jalen Travis at No. 144 is 152 spots clear of where he belonged. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. However the rest shakes out, Longerbeam at that price is a win they earned.

Hit on Ashton Jeanty and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 4th pick they get an every-down engine for the run game. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tate Ratledge. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at slot 69 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick77 Rnd3 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in the 77th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick106 Rnd4 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
They talked themselves into KeAndre Lambert-Smith at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis at No. 144 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick217 Rnd7 Andrew Armstrong
They reached into another round for Andrew Armstrong, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick220 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at pick No. 220 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick238 Rnd7 Robert Longerbeam
They barely believed it either: Robert Longerbeam still on the board at No. 238. It adds depth where they could use a little.
