Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Paul Jr.: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Chris Paul Jr. slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at Round 7, Pick 21. Highway robbery. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The cost of the Green reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get a blindside protector, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at slot 39 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick70 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
The board had Alfred Collins higher than the 70th pick, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick80 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Nice patience on Zy Alexander, who had no business lasting to No. 80. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick127 Rnd4 Elic Ayomanor
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Elic Ayomanor in pick No. 127, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in pick 131 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
They read the board right and Jay Higgins was the payoff at the Round 5 slot. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick209 Rnd6 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at the 209th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick223 Rnd7 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
A tidy bit of business in No. 223, where Ar'maj Reed-Adams graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick224 Rnd7 Kalel Mullings
The board fumbled Kalel Mullings all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick235 Rnd7 Chris Paul Jr.
They will replay Chris Paul Jr. at pick No. 235 for years; that is how good the value is. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick242 Rnd7 Taylen Green
They reached a country mile for Taylen Green at the 242nd overall pick, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
