Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureA
The Patriots let Hopper fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Ty'Ron Hopper tumbling to the Patriots in pick No. 184 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In pick No. 7 they get a red-zone target to build around at fair value.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens at slot 38 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick66 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Value with a capital V on Patrick Paul in the 66th pick, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick68 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They paid sticker price for Brenden Rice in the 68th overall pick, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick71 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
They did well to land Mekhi Wingo in the Round 3 slot, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at pick 89 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick115 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea in No. 115 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick139 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
A clean, defensible pick in Round 5, Pick 3 with a little surplus value in Kamal Hadden. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick182 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym at pick 182 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick184 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at Round 6, Pick 9 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick224 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
Nothing to complain about; Taulia Tagovailoa went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
