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

The Patriots went off the board in a big way for Nathan Pickering, 112 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Cowing. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Bottom line, with Troy Fautanu leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in pick 33 with a little surplus value in Brian Thomas Jr.. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at slot 34 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick65 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at pick No. 65 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick72 Rnd3 Cade Stover
By-the-book stuff, Cade Stover at No. 72 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick103 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
A premium they did not need to pay, Spencer Rattler a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick137 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
No drama and no debate, Jarrian Jones went about where he belonged in the 137th overall pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick180 Rnd6 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at Round 6, Pick 5 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jacob Cowing
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Jacob Cowing in pick No. 185, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
No edge and no loss on Jase McClellan in slot 193; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick231 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at the Round 7 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick257 Rnd7 Nathan Pickering
Nathan Pickering at No. 257 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
