Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Patriots fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

The Patriots put a flag in the ground for Mason Fairchild, 68 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Spending an early pick on cornerback with edge rusher, safety and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In slot 29 they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
No edge and no loss on Tyler Guyton in the 34th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
The board had cheaper options than Mike Sainristil at pick 68, and it noticed. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick103 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Khyree Jackson at cornerback with edge rusher, safety and other spots open.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jordan Jefferson well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick182 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They paid a round early for Christian Jones in Round 6, Pick 7, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick224 Rnd7 Trevor Keegan
A conviction pick on Trevor Keegan at pick No. 224 that the board grades a round light. The roster fit checks out.
Pick232 Rnd7 Mason Fairchild
They left a pile of value on the table to take Mason Fairchild this early at the Round 7 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
