Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Patriots: B-.

The Patriots bet big and early on Sai'vion Jones, 73 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

Getting Restrepo where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In No. 4 they get a ballhawk on the outside. More want than need.
Pick38 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at the 38th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 Sai'vion Jones
Sai'vion Jones at the 69th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick77 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at pick No. 77 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick106 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tyler Baron well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick144 Rnd5 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo in Round 5, Pick 6 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jahvaree Ritzie
They talked themselves into Jahvaree Ritzie at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jason Marshall Jr.
Somehow Jason Marshall Jr. was still sitting there in the 220th pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick238 Rnd7 Thomas Fidone II
Thomas Fidone II at Round 7, Pick 22 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
