Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-.

The real work happened on the phones. The Patriots fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

The Peebles pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Walker value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

In the end it comes back to Matthew Golden, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a weapon on the perimeter at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jalon Walker at the Round 2 slot. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick69 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in pick No. 69 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick77 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in slot 77 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick123 Rnd4 Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles at No. 123 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
A premium they did not need to pay, Andres Borregales a notch or two before his time. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick157 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
No edge and no loss on Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the 157th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
They read the board right and Bhayshul Tuten was the payoff at the 171st pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick185 Rnd6 Drew Kendall
They paid a round early for Drew Kendall in the Round 6 slot, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
They took Alijah Huzzie at par in pick No. 220, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick235 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
They went early on Cam Horsley in pick 235, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick238 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
LaJohntay Wester at No. 238 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
