Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA FutureB+
The Patriots won the night they stopped Higgins from sliding. Grade: B+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jay Higgins had no business being available in slot 220, and the Patriots did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The Badger reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the 4th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 12 they get a workhorse for the backfield, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
No drama and no debate, Tate Ratledge went about where he belonged in pick 69. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick143 Rnd5 Carson Schwesinger
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Carson Schwesinger in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick217 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Hayden Conner at the 217th pick is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 220 is the definition of value, full stop. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick238 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
Elijhah Badger at Round 7, Pick 22 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
