Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots let Loveland fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Colston Loveland had no business being available in pick No. 69, and the Patriots did the only sane thing and turned in the card. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Kendall has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

The Tyler Smith pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In slot 12 they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka slipping to pick 38 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick44 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
They barely believed it either: Colston Loveland still on the board at pick No. 69. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick77 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Value with a capital V on Quinshon Judkins in the 77th pick, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick106 Rnd4 Deone Walker
They robbed the room for Deone Walker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick144 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
The board had cheaper options than Andres Borregales at No. 144, and it noticed. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Drew Kendall
They reached into another round for Drew Kendall, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick220 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
They paid a round early for Carson Vinson in the 220th pick, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
A reach for Cam Horsley in pick 238; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
