Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

Some picks age like wine; Seth McLaughlin at the 218th pick will need to, sitting 35 spots clear of his grade. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If one pick saves this weekend, it is King.

Deonte Banks gives the group a proven body among the projects.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 9th overall pick they get a building block for the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander at the 40th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick41 Rnd2 Rod Moore
Rod Moore at slot 41 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Devin Neal
The board had Devin Neal higher than the Round 3 slot, and the running back fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick85 Rnd3 Patrick Payton
They paid up for Patrick Payton at Round 3, Pick 21 when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jake Briningstool
A big swing on Jake Briningstool at pick No. 108, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick144 Rnd5 Elic Ayomanor
They let Elic Ayomanor come to them and pounced at the 144th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick216 Rnd7 Armand Membou
A clean, defensible pick in No. 216 with a little surplus value in Armand Membou. It fills a real need, too.
Pick218 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at pick 218 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick228 Rnd7 Haynes King
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Haynes King in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
