Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Patriots a B+.

The Patriots put a flag in the ground for Teddye Buchanan, 38 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That Harris pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Colston Loveland
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a seam-stretching tight end, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Fair-plus on Jihaad Campbell, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick45 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Nothing to complain about; Xavier Watts went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Tre Harris slipping to slot 69 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 Charles Grant
The board had cheaper options than Charles Grant at the 77th pick, and it noticed. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
No edge and no loss on Jordan Phillips in No. 106; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick144 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
The board had Brashard Smith higher than No. 144, and the running back fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
A straight-up fair deal on Seth McLaughlin at the 171st pick, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick220 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Value said wait; Teddye Buchanan in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick238 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
Cam Horsley at the 238th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
