Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureC
A mixed bag for the Patriots, and a C to match.

Nobody else had Barryn Sorrell anywhere near the 219th pick. The Patriots did, by 109 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

The Gordon II pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In No. 4 they get a true top target at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the Round 2 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jackson Slater
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jackson Slater. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick77 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
They talked themselves into Smael Mondon Jr. at Round 3, Pick 13, and the board did not agree. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick105 Rnd4 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at pick 105 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick140 Rnd5 Ahmed Hassanein
A big swing on Ahmed Hassanein at slot 140, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick145 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at pick No. 145 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick198 Rnd6 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
No drama and no debate, Jordan Hancock went about where he belonged in pick 203. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick205 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in slot 205 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick219 Rnd7 Barryn Sorrell
They left a pile of value on the table to take Barryn Sorrell this early at No. 219. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
