Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Patriots, and a B- to prove it.

The Patriots went off the board in a big way for Xavier Truss, 61 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Landing Hunter that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
You do not let a tight end like Tyler Warren reach the 38th pick and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
No edge and no loss on Elic Ayomanor in No. 69; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick77 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Nothing to complain about; Omarr Norman-Lott went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A quiet steal in Round 4, Pick 4: Kevin Winston Jr. for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in pick No. 144 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill at the Round 5 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
Taking Jarquez Hunter in Round 7, Pick 4 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
Xavier Truss in No. 238 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
