Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall
B+
ValueB+
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureB-
The Patriots turned the phones into found money: B+. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Patriots would have aced it. Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 134th overall pick is 49 spots clear of where he belonged. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.
They banked enough surplus on Walker to cover a lot of smaller sins. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In No. 32 they get a No. 1 receiver, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Warren at the 38th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick64
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in Round 2, Pick 32 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick69
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the 69th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick77
Rnd3
Isaiah Bond
No edge and no loss on Isaiah Bond in pick 77; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick96
Rnd3
Cameron Williams
The board fumbled Cameron Williams all the way to slot 96, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106
Rnd4
Jacob Parrish
They liked Jacob Parrish enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 4 slot. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick134
Rnd4
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick 134 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick144
Rnd5
Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in the 144th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick161
Rnd5
Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans in the 161st overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
Pick164
Rnd5
Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool in Round 5, Pick 26 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick165
Rnd5
Tommi Hill
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 165 with a little surplus value in Tommi Hill. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick168
Rnd5
Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at No. 168 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick217
Rnd7
Tahj Brooks
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Tahj Brooks in slot 217, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick220
Rnd7
Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson in pick No. 220 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick238
Rnd7
Donovan Smith
They reached a country mile for Donovan Smith at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
