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

Somebody in pick 38 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Patriots sat still while Tyler Warren, the No. 15 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

Diggs has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. Adding Christian Kirk by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Aireontae Ersery
In pick 25 they get a building block for the line, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Tyler Warren in pick No. 38, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
A premium they did not need to pay, Donovan Jackson a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins is a better player than the 69th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick77 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Deone Walker. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. slid further than he should have, and No. 106 is lovely value for the safety. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick144 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
A clean, defensible pick in slot 144 with a little surplus value in LeQuint Allen. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
A tidy bit of business in Round 5, Pick 33, where Andres Borregales graded well above the range. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick220 Rnd7 Fadil Diggs
Fadil Diggs in pick No. 220 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
Alijah Huzzie in the 238th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
