Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureC+
The Patriots worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

The Patriots clearly saw something nobody else did in Dayon Hayes, taking him 75 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

On value alone, Higgins makes the weekend a net positive.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the Round 1 slot they get a seam-stretching tight end at fair value.
Pick38 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
A reach for Marcus Mbow in No. 38; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
The board had cheaper options than Andrew Mukuba at the 69th pick, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick106 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo at slot 106 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick144 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
A real head-scratcher, Seth McLaughlin in pick No. 144 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick217 Rnd7 Simeon Barrow Jr.
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Simeon Barrow Jr.. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at Round 7, Pick 4 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick238 Rnd7 Dayon Hayes
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dayon Hayes this early at the 238th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
