Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Trapilo: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Ozzy Trapilo slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at pick No. 105. Highway robbery. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the 4th overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in pick No. 38 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in No. 69 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Tai Felton
No edge and no loss on Tai Felton in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick105 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
They barely believed it either: Ozzy Trapilo still on the board at the 105th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
