Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Harris should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a B+.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Patriots watched Tre Harris slide 150 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They will need Ersery to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In pick No. 13 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In the 27th pick they get a two-high chess piece, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Travis Hunter
Travis Hunter at the Round 2 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick45 Rnd2 Quinshon Judkins
Steal is underselling it; Quinshon Judkins at Round 2, Pick 13 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick46 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
They will replay Colston Loveland at slot 46 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick66 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Ashton Gillotte in the 66th overall pick, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick77 Rnd3 Mitchell Evans
A tight end of that caliber at No. 77 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick91 Rnd3 Aireontae Ersery
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Aireontae Ersery well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98 Rnd4 Earnest Greene III
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Earnest Greene III. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick194 Rnd7 Tre Harris
Somehow Tre Harris was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 2, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
