Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Patriots.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Patriots reached some 179 spots for Collin Oliver, and value like that does not grow back. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Getting Gadsden II where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 4th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
No edge and no loss on Tyler Booker in slot 38; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in pick 69 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba slipping to Round 4, Pick 1 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
No drama and no debate, Hollin Pierce went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick120 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dorian Strong in No. 120, miles early. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick141 Rnd5 Que Robinson
A real head-scratcher, Que Robinson in pick No. 141 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick144 Rnd5 Collin Oliver
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Collin Oliver well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick167 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Nice patience on Bhayshul Tuten, who had no business lasting to the 167th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick178 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
They let Ollie Gordon II come to them and pounced at pick 178. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick217 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Oronde Gadsden II in the 217th overall pick, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick220 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cody Lindenberg. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick238 Rnd7 Eric Gregory
Eric Gregory at No. 238 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
