Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Patriots started one anyway for Alfred Collins, 51 picks ahead of schedule. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Marks. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 9th pick they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick16 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In the 16th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Ollie Gordon II
They took Ollie Gordon II at par in No. 43, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick52 Rnd2 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick72 Rnd3 Josh Simmons
Josh Simmons at pick No. 72 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick82 Rnd3 Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart in slot 82 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick107 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. is a better player than the 107th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick110 Rnd4 Connor Colby
A wild overpay on Connor Colby in No. 110, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick145 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
A big swing on Oscar Delp at slot 145, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick158 Rnd5 LT Overton
Nothing to complain about; LT Overton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick173 Rnd5 Woody Marks
They will replay Woody Marks at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick185 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
A real head-scratcher, Nazir Stackhouse in the 185th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216 Rnd7 Alfred Collins
Value said wait; Alfred Collins in pick 216 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
