Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Patriots.

Nobody had Jalen Travis this high, and it is not close. The Patriots reached 45 spots to get him at No. 238.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick 4 they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
Josh Conerly Jr. in pick No. 38 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
They paid sticker price for Jayden Higgins in Round 3, Pick 5, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at the 77th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick106 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
A straight-up fair deal on Hollin Pierce at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick144 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
A big swing on Oronde Gadsden II at the 144th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick217 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at the 217th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan in slot 220 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
They reached into another round for Jalen Travis, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
