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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: J. Michael Sturdivant, No. 130, roughly 38 picks past where he belonged. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Every board in the league had Alexander lower, and that gap is the story.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Jonah Savaiinaea and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jonah Savaiinaea
In pick No. 31 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at No. 34 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick66 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick98 Rnd4 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in Round 4, Pick 2 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick130 Rnd5 J. Michael Sturdivant
You do not let a wide receiver like J. Michael Sturdivant reach the 130th overall pick and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick194 Rnd7 Zy Alexander
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zy Alexander. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
