Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Gordon II: A.

You build a draft on nights like this. Ollie Gordon II had no business being available in slot 236, and the Patriots did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The cost of the Lacy reach is exactly the players who went right after him. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Emeka Egbuka and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 8th pick they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in slot 39 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick41 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Luther Burden III in pick 41. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Taking Omarion Hampton in No. 72 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick86 Rnd3 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick108 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Smael Mondon Jr. at Round 4, Pick 7 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick144 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
They will replay Deontae Lawson at pick No. 144 for years; that is how good the value is. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick218 Rnd7 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at the 218th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick220 Rnd7 Kyren Lacy
They liked Kyren Lacy enough to skip the value, taking him in the 220th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick236 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
The board fumbled Ollie Gordon II all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick256 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Donovan Edwards in slot 256, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
