Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The Patriots robbed the room for Lambert-Smith. Final grade: A.

The rest of the league will want that one back. KeAndre Lambert-Smith tumbling to the Patriots in the Round 7 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Josh Downs gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 14th pick they get a go-to option on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Circle this one: Kenneth Grant at No. 45 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick51 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at pick 51 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in the 69th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals in Round 3, Pick 13 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick85 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins slid further than he should have, and pick No. 85 is lovely value for the running back. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Devin Neal
Devin Neal in slot 105 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick121 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
They barely believed it either: Ozzy Trapilo still on the board at the Round 4 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick193 Rnd6 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong at pick No. 193 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
The board fumbled Jaylen Reed all the way to No. 219, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick222 Rnd7 Karene Reid
Steal is underselling it; Karene Reid at slot 222 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick240 Rnd7 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, KeAndre Lambert-Smith in pick 240, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
