Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Reid should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a A.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Karene Reid tumbling to the Patriots in slot 223 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

Reaching for Griffith left real value on the table behind him. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The Patriots paired the rookies with proven help, Jaire Alexander leading the way.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Omarion Hampton and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
The board fumbled Omarion Hampton all the way to Round 2, Pick 7, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick58 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the 58th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick70 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in the Round 3 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick80 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at No. 80 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jack Bech
By-the-book stuff, Jack Bech at the 91st overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jayden Higgins
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jayden Higgins well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at slot 141 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick221 Rnd7 Sonny Styles
A safety of that caliber at pick No. 221 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick223 Rnd7 Karene Reid
Taking Karene Reid in No. 223 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick235 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in the 235th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
