Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureB
The Patriots checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

Nobody had Josiah Ezirim this high, and it is not close. The Patriots reached 98 spots to get him at No. 193. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Wiggins.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick 5 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
The board had Nate Wiggins higher than the 34th pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick37 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin at No. 37 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in Round 3, Pick 4 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at pick No. 69 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick103 Rnd4 Christian Jones
This one needs a full-page explanation: Christian Jones in the 103rd overall pick, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick137 Rnd5 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. at pick 137 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick180 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ryan Flournoy this early at the 180th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick193 Rnd6 Josiah Ezirim
Josiah Ezirim in pick No. 193 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick231 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
Donovan Jennings at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
