Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesC- FutureA
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Judkins: B.

Call it larceny. Quinshon Judkins sat on the board until the 143rd overall pick, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The Burch reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 14th pick they get a true top target, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
A quiet steal in the 38th overall pick: Emeka Egbuka for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
They barely believed it either: Tyler Warren still on the board at No. 69. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
They reached a country mile for Jordan Burch at slot 77, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at pick 104 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick143 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
Circle this one: Quinshon Judkins at pick No. 143 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
