Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall D
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureA+
The phones sank the Patriots this weekend: D.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Patriots shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That is a tight end worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Denzel Burke
In No. 18 they get a ballhawk on the outside. More want than need.
Pick35 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They paid sticker price for Tyler Booker in pick No. 35, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick36 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at pick 36 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Bryson Nesbit
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: Bryson Nesbit for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Clay Webb
No drama and no debate, Clay Webb went about where he belonged in the 68th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Fair-plus on Jamon Dumas-Johnson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick99 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They took Malachi Moore at par in Round 4, Pick 3, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick108 Rnd4 J. Michael Sturdivant
A straight-up fair deal on J. Michael Sturdivant at the 108th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick131 Rnd5 Bear Alexander
No edge and no loss on Bear Alexander in pick 131; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick195 Rnd7 Zy Alexander
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Zy Alexander at the 195th pick is the proof. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
