Draft Grade — Patriots

FutureA-
The Patriots robbed the room for Leavitt. Final grade: C-. The board owed the Patriots one, and it paid up: Sam Leavitt, the No. 36 name on the board, sitting there at No. 90 like a gift left on the doorstep. The final tally is a middling C-.
Reaching for Zvada left real value on the table behind him. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.
The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. DaRon Bland gives the group a proven body among the projects.
So much rides on Denzel Boston that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Denzel Boston
In the 27th pick they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59
Rnd2
Isaiah World
Nice patience on Isaiah World, who had no business lasting to the 59th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76
Rnd3
Michael Taaffe
Steal is underselling it; Michael Taaffe at pick 76 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick79
Rnd3
Connor Lew
The board had Connor Lew higher than Round 3, Pick 15, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick84
Rnd3
Jalon Kilgore
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jalon Kilgore in pick No. 84. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick90
Rnd3
Sam Leavitt
Taking Sam Leavitt in No. 90 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick95
Rnd3
Whit Weeks
Whit Weeks at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick112
Rnd4
Jaden Greathouse
A straight-up fair deal on Jaden Greathouse at slot 112, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148
Rnd5
Darius Taylor
Circle this one: Darius Taylor at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick175
Rnd5
Elliot Washington II
Value said wait; Elliot Washington II in slot 175 says they were not listening. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick177
Rnd6
Dominic Zvada
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dominic Zvada. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick190
Rnd6
Trebor Pena
A slide stopped in the 190th overall pick, with Trebor Pena worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick228
Rnd7
A'Marion Peterson
Value with a capital V on A'Marion Peterson in Round 7, Pick 12, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
