Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in slot 219: the Patriots steal Gordon II and grade out a B+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Ollie Gordon II had no business being available in pick 219, and the Patriots did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The DK Metcalf deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In No. 18 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Derrick Harmon at the 38th pick is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Fair-plus on Deone Walker, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick77 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Demetrius Knight Jr. in the 77th overall pick, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick105 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Good price on Kevin Winston Jr. in pick 105, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick145 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
They barely believed it either: Emery Jones Jr. still on the board at slot 145. It fills a real need, too.
Pick219 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Taking Ollie Gordon II in Round 7, Pick 1 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick222 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in pick No. 222 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick240 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in the 240th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
