Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureC
The Patriots kept it disciplined and banked a B.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Patriots did exactly that with Jalen Travis in Round 7, Pick 4. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Majors. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Christian Watson gives the group a proven body among the projects. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In No. 4 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
Jack Sawyer in the 38th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick43 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at the 43rd pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Somehow Quinshon Judkins was still sitting there in slot 86, and they pounced on premier running back value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at pick No. 122 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick158 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Circle this one: Cody Simon at pick 158 is a fall that decides a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jake Majors
Taking Jake Majors in pick 191 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick208 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
Value said wait; Isaac TeSlaa in the 208th pick says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick217 Rnd7 Karene Reid
The board had Karene Reid higher than No. 217, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jalen Travis in the 220th overall pick, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick238 Rnd7 Bryson Nesbit
A real head-scratcher, Bryson Nesbit in Round 7, Pick 22 is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
