Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureA+
The Patriots did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Nick Nash pick is the one that will follow the Patriots into the fall. They took him 134 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

Mullings falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. It is not that Igbinosun is a bad player; it is that the Patriots had louder needs to answer first. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick43 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Steal is underselling it; Malaki Starks at the 43rd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A slide stopped in pick 52, with Jihaad Campbell worth more than the price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jason Marshall Jr.
A wild overpay on Jason Marshall Jr. in slot 71, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick77 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
A reach for Darrell Jackson Jr. in No. 77; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
They reached a country mile for Jordan Burch at Round 3, Pick 25, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick107 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at slot 107 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick124 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
A want over a need in pick 124: Davison Igbinosun adds a cornerback while tight end keeps waiting.
Pick126 Rnd4 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at the 126th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jared Ivey
A edge rusher of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Parker Brailsford
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Parker Brailsford in Round 5, Pick 10, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170 Rnd5 Fernando Carmona
Fernando Carmona at the 170th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick214 Rnd6 Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings at No. 214 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick222 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
They will replay Bryce Foster at pick No. 222 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick236 Rnd7 Clay Webb
The board had Clay Webb higher than the 236th pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jonah Monheim reach slot 241 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
