Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Patriots torched the value chart for Eli Cox, taking him 115 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hunter. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty at the 4th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick38 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland slid further than he should have, and No. 38 is lovely value for the tight end. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Jack Bech in pick No. 69 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel in pick 77 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick106 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
By-the-book stuff, Anthony Belton at Round 4, Pick 4 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick144 Rnd5 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith at the 144th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter in slot 217 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jalen Travis. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick238 Rnd7 Eli Cox
They reached into another round for Eli Cox, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
