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

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Patriots spent pick 238 on Torricelli Simpkins III, a name the board had a full 26 spots lower. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Burden III pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick 4 they get a featured back. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III slid further than he should have, and the 38th overall pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at the 69th pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick77 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Carson Schwesinger at the Round 3 slot. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jordan Phillips. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick144 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at pick No. 144 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick217 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
They read the board right and Luke Lachey was the payoff at the 217th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick220 Rnd7 Robert Longerbeam
They paid sticker price for Robert Longerbeam in the Round 7 slot, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick238 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
A big swing on Torricelli Simpkins III at pick 238, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
