Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots won the night they stopped Dart from sliding. Grade: A-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jaxson Dart got past him. The Patriots do not have to explain a thing at pick 85.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Harris reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

Bottom line, with Emery Jones Jr. leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Emery Jones Jr.
In slot 25 they get an anchor for the offensive line, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
Value with a capital V on Jack Sawyer in No. 34, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tre Harris
A conviction pick on Tre Harris at Round 2, Pick 9 that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick56 Rnd2 Shavon Revel Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Shavon Revel Jr. at pick No. 56, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick66 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in pick 66 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Josh Conerly Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Josh Conerly Jr. at the 86th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick98 Rnd4 Shilo Sanders
Nice patience on Shilo Sanders, who had no business lasting to the 98th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick130 Rnd5 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks in the 130th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick194 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster in slot 194 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick217 Rnd7 Zy Alexander
A tidy bit of business in the 217th overall pick, where Zy Alexander graded well above the range. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
