Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Tuten: B-.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Patriots shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Tuten. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
A tidy bit of business in the 27th overall pick, where Tetairoa McMillan graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick38 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
Josh Conerly Jr. at slot 38 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
They did well to land Tyleik Williams in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
A straight-up fair deal on Jayden Higgins at Round 3, Pick 5, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick77 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at pick 77 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at No. 106 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick144 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
They paid sticker price for Mitchell Evans in the 144th pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick176 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
They barely believed it either: Bhayshul Tuten still on the board at No. 176. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217 Rnd7 Simeon Barrow Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Simeon Barrow Jr. at Round 7, Pick 1 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson in slot 232 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick238 Rnd7 CJ Dippre
They took CJ Dippre at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
