Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Patriots bet the future on Penix Jr.. The board says B+.

Start where it matters. The Patriots took Michael Penix Jr. to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
Michael Penix Jr. at the Round 1 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick34 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Good price on Graham Barton in Round 2, Pick 2, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick41 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Nothing to complain about; Keon Coleman went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A clean, defensible pick in the 44th overall pick with a little surplus value in Chris Braswell. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick48 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at the 48th pick is the proof. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at No. 68 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
By-the-book stuff, Jalen McMillan at pick No. 102 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick136 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at pick 136 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick140 Rnd5 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett at slot 140 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick179 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kamal Hadden at Round 6, Pick 4. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
A premium they did not need to pay, Jared Wiley a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
The board had Jaylan Ford higher than pick 207, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick219 Rnd6 Emani Bailey
Emani Bailey is a better player than the 219th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick231 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
They paid a round early for Brevyn Spann-Ford in pick No. 231, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
