Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Patriots: B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Patriots reached some 78 spots for Tony Rojas, and value like that does not grow back.

The Hill Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In the 31st pick they get a moveable chess piece at tight end at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
They will replay Anthony Hill Jr. at pick No. 63 for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jaeden Roberts
They reached into another round for Jaeden Roberts, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Logan Jones
By-the-book stuff, Logan Jones at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick131 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge in slot 131 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick169 Rnd5 Eric McAlister
They paid a round early for Eric McAlister in pick 169, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick189 Rnd6 Rayshaun Benny
Rayshaun Benny at slot 189 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick200 Rnd6 Antonio Kite
They paid sticker price for Antonio Kite in the 200th pick, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick207 Rnd6 Tony Rojas
They talked themselves into Tony Rojas at No. 207, and the board did not agree. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick210 Rnd6 Shamar Easter
Shamar Easter at the 210th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Damari Brown
A wild overpay on Damari Brown in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
