Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesD+ FutureA
The Patriots kept it disciplined and banked a B.

Nobody else had Davin Vann anywhere near the 238th overall pick. The Patriots did, by 31 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

The Mukuba pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 12th pick they get a three-down runner, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at the 38th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in pick No. 69 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at Round 3, Pick 12 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
A wild overpay on Jaylin Noel in No. 77, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick106 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
They barely believed it either: Andrew Mukuba still on the board at pick 106. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick144 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Luke Kandra. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick149 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at the 149th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick217 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
A quiet steal in pick 217: Donovan Edwards for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. in slot 220 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick238 Rnd7 Davin Vann
They reached into another round for Davin Vann, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
