Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Patriots worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Patriots were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Royals.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In slot 22 they get a mismatch in the passing game, outstanding value to boot.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at Round 2, Pick 6 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson at the 69th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals at pick No. 77 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in pick 106 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
