Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Trey Zuhn III in the Round 6 slot, a good 43 spots before the room expected him.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Getting Chambliss where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
Denzel Boston in the Round 1 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick62 Rnd2 Darrell Jackson Jr.
No edge and no loss on Darrell Jackson Jr. in the 62nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick94 Rnd3 Keith Abney II
Keith Abney II at slot 94 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick130 Rnd4 Bray Hubbard
They jumped the gun on Bray Hubbard, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Logan Jones
Logan Jones at pick 131 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick170 Rnd5 Duce Robinson
Duce Robinson at the 170th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick192 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at pick 192 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick193 Rnd6 Trinidad Chambliss
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Trinidad Chambliss at the Round 6 slot is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Mark Fletcher Jr.
No drama and no debate, Mark Fletcher Jr. went about where he belonged in No. 203. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jaren Kanak
They paid up for Jaren Kanak at pick No. 209 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick245 Rnd7 Pat Coogan
They went early on Pat Coogan in Round 7, Pick 30, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
