Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Tuten: B-.

Call it larceny. Bhayshul Tuten sat on the board until Round 7, Pick 4, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice.

The Griffith reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at the 38th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in slot 69 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick87 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at pick No. 87 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106 Rnd4 Logan Brown
A wild overpay on Logan Brown in the 106th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick124 Rnd4 Kobe King
A straight-up fair deal on Kobe King at No. 124, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jacob Parrish
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick156 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
You do not let a quarterback like Kurtis Rourke reach pick 156 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick184 Rnd6 Darius Alexander
The board fumbled Darius Alexander all the way to Round 6, Pick 8, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
They will replay Jay Higgins at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick220 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Taking Bhayshul Tuten in pick 220 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick238 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Isaac TeSlaa at slot 238. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick250 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in the 250th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
