Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureC
The Patriots lost the trade table, and the C tells the story.

The phones were a trap the Patriots kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. It nets out a thoroughly average C.

The Conner pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Landing Alexander that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

If Abdul Carter and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a premier pass rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at pick No. 51 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick77 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They took Andrew Mukuba at par in the 77th pick, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick106 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander slipping to the 106th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
A straight-up fair deal on Jeffrey Bassa at No. 118, value and slot in agreement. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick144 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
LeQuint Allen at slot 144 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick191 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Oronde Gadsden II. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick217 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in the 217th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick220 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
They let Kyle Monangai come to them and pounced at slot 220. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick238 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
They reached a country mile for Hayden Conner at pick 238, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
