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

The board owed the Patriots one, and it paid up: Chris Paul Jr., the No. 119 name on the board, sitting there at slot 246 like a gift left on the doorstep. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They are betting Smith proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The Perkins Jr. pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, safety and other spots still on the board.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the 3rd pick they get a sticky cover corner. More want than need.
Pick40 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Taking Luther Burden III in Round 2, Pick 8 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick46 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick107 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Deontae Lawson in pick No. 107, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick138 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Harold Perkins Jr. in No. 138 leaves edge rusher, safety and other spots for later.
Pick142 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at slot 142 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick219 Rnd7 Tim Smith
Value said wait; Tim Smith in pick 219 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick222 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
They robbed the room for Ollie Gordon II here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Chris Paul Jr.
Somehow Chris Paul Jr. was still sitting there in slot 246, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
