Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots robbed the room for Schwesinger. Final grade: B.

The Patriots spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Carson Schwesinger, the No. 132 name on the board, in pick No. 235.

They are betting Truss proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In slot 3 they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
Josh Conerly Jr. at the 39th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jalen Royals in the 70th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick80 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
They reached a country mile for Ajani Cornelius at No. 80, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106 Rnd4 Darrell Jackson Jr.
They barely believed it either: Darrell Jackson Jr. still on the board at pick No. 106. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick141 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Taking Malachi Moore in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick221 Rnd7 Elijah Arroyo
You do not let a tight end like Elijah Arroyo reach pick 221 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick223 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
Xavier Truss at Round 7, Pick 9 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Carson Schwesinger
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Carson Schwesinger in the 235th overall pick, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
