Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Brooks: C.

Call it larceny. Tahj Brooks sat on the board until the Round 7 slot, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice. It nets out a thoroughly average C.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The Stutsman pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, safety and other spots.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Trapilo pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Mason Graham
Mason Graham at No. 4 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at pick No. 38 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick69 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
They reached into another round for Ozzy Trapilo, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick77 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in the 77th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick105 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
A surprising call. With edge rusher, safety and other spots still to address, they spent pick 105 on Danny Stutsman, a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick111 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce in the 111th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick145 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Shemar Turner in slot 145. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick219 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
A running back of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 1 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick222 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor at the 222nd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool at Round 7, Pick 22 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
