Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Patriots a B.

The Patriots put a flag in the ground for Davison Igbinosun, 107 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

On value alone, Schwesinger makes the weekend a net positive. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

The Igbinosun pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at safety and tight end. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick 6 they get an anchor for the defensive front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
Bradyn Swinson in slot 38 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Nothing to complain about; Zy Alexander went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
No edge and no loss on Jayden Higgins in No. 69; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick83 Rnd3 Logan Brown
This one needs a full-page explanation: Logan Brown in Round 3, Pick 19, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick105 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
A curious use of the 105th overall pick. Safety and tight end needed the pick; a cornerback in Davison Igbinosun did not.
Pick140 Rnd5 Devin Neal
Devin Neal in pick No. 140 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick219 Rnd7 Carson Schwesinger
Somehow Carson Schwesinger was still sitting there in the 219th overall pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick222 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Steal is underselling it; Cam Skattebo at No. 222 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick237 Rnd7 Garrett Greene
They reached a country mile for Garrett Greene at pick 237, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
