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

There is reaching, and then there is Shilo Sanders at the 238th pick. The Patriots jumped the board by 49 and dared it to prove them wrong.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The Higgins value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the 4th overall pick they get an island corner. More want than need.
Pick38 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in pick No. 38 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins slipping to Round 3, Pick 5 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
They jumped the gun on Jordan Burch, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick106 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. slid further than he should have, and the 106th pick is lovely value for the safety. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
They paid up for Bhayshul Tuten at pick 144 when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick217 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
A conviction pick on Cam Jackson at the 217th overall pick that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick220 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at slot 220 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick238 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Shilo Sanders. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
