Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots let Watts fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Xavier Watts got past him. The Patriots do not have to explain a thing at No. 77. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They will need Ersery to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a workhorse for the backfield. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at No. 38 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Tre Harris slid further than he should have, and slot 69 is lovely value for the wide receiver. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick77 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
A safety of that caliber at the 77th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
They went early on Joshua Farmer in pick 106, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick144 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans at Round 5, Pick 6 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
