Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Patriots.

Every other box got a look, but quarterback did not. The Patriots will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with.

Reaching for Burch left real value on the table behind him. The Egbuka pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In No. 4 they get a long-term starter on the line, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at pick No. 38 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in the 69th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch at slot 77 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick106 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
A reasonable price with a little left over, Lathan Ransom in the 106th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick144 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at the Round 5 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
The board had cheaper options than Cam Jackson at Round 7, Pick 4, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick228 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson at pick 228 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris in pick No. 238 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick244 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
A reach on Teddye Buchanan in slot 244; the board had better options right there. A minor itch, scratched.
