Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA FutureB
Larceny in slot 105 lands the Patriots a B+, Judkins and all.

When a board-topper like Quinshon Judkins slides to pick No. 105, you do not overthink it, and the Patriots did not. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Every board in the league had Trapilo lower, and that gap is the story.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 15th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker is a better player than pick No. 38 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
A straight-up fair deal on Tate Ratledge at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick71 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in pick 71 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick73 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
A clean, defensible pick in the 73rd overall pick with a little surplus value in Omarr Norman-Lott. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick77 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at No. 77 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
The board had Jayden Higgins higher than Round 3, Pick 16, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick105 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Circle this one: Quinshon Judkins at slot 105 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
