Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots robbed the room for Stout. Final grade: A.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Patriots watched Upton Stout slide 51 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
They paid sticker price for Mykel Williams in slot 17, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
A tidy bit of business in the 69th overall pick, where TreVeyon Henderson graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick77 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They paid a round early for Donovan Jackson in pick 77, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick105 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
The board had Chris Paul Jr. higher than pick No. 105, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick118 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Tai Felton is a better player than No. 118 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips in Round 5, Pick 6 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick219 Rnd7 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt in the 219th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick222 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Alijah Huzzie in pick No. 222. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick240 Rnd7 Upton Stout
A safety of that caliber at pick 240 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
