Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Sarratt: B-.

The board owed the Patriots one, and it paid up: Elijah Sarratt, the No. 47 name on the board, sitting there at No. 95 like a gift left on the doorstep. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Reaching for Wagner left real value on the table behind him. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the Round 1 slot they get the heartbeat of the defense at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick63 Rnd2 Zakee Wheatley
They talked themselves into Zakee Wheatley at Round 2, Pick 31, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick95 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt at pick 95 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick125 Rnd4 Logan Jones
Logan Jones at the 125th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick131 Rnd4 Aamil Wagner
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Aamil Wagner. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp in slot 169 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick189 Rnd6 David Gusta
David Gusta in No. 189 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick200 Rnd6 Toriano Pride Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Toriano Pride Jr. at pick No. 200 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick207 Rnd6 Dalton Johnson
Dalton Johnson in slot 207 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick210 Rnd6 Zavion Thomas
Zavion Thomas in the 210th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick247 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trey Zuhn III. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
