Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Patriots: B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Patriots shredded theirs for Carter Bradley. He came off 64 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The Morgan value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick No. 11 they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick23 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in the 23rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick34 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Fair-plus on Adonai Mitchell, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at slot 68 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick103 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
They barely believed it either: Mike Sainristil still on the board at No. 103. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick137 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube in the 137th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick180 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
No edge and no loss on Ty'Ron Hopper in Round 6, Pick 5; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick193 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl at pick 193 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick231 Rnd7 Carter Bradley
Carter Bradley at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
