Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall
B-
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesD+
FutureB+
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Patriots. Nobody had Jalen Travis this high, and it is not close. The Patriots reached 67 spots to get him at the Round 7 slot. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.
Landing Marks that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Kelvin Banks Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a cornerstone up front. A real need, handled.
Pick38
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in No. 38 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick49
Rnd2
Josaiah Stewart
A straight-up fair deal on Josaiah Stewart at slot 49, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick69
Rnd3
Harold Fannin Jr.
Taking Harold Fannin Jr. in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick77
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
Nice patience on Jayden Higgins, who had no business lasting to the 77th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106
Rnd4
Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey at the 106th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148
Rnd5
Jay Higgins
A big swing on Jay Higgins at slot 148, well ahead of any board in the building. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick156
Rnd5
Kurtis Rourke
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kurtis Rourke in the Round 5 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick172
Rnd5
Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. in pick 172 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick217
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
A premium they did not need to pay, Isaac TeSlaa a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick218
Rnd7
Jabbar Muhammad
A wild overpay on Jabbar Muhammad in No. 218, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick220
Rnd7
Jalen Travis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jalen Travis well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick229
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
A real head-scratcher, Garrett Dellinger in the 229th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick233
Rnd7
Woody Marks
Somehow Woody Marks was still sitting there in pick No. 233, and they pounced on premier running back value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick238
Rnd7
Donovan Smith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Donovan Smith this early at the 238th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
