Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
Larceny in Round 7, Pick 22 lands the Patriots a B, Marks and all.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Woody Marks got past him. The Patriots do not have to explain a thing at slot 240.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In No. 25 they get a true top target, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Somehow Kenneth Grant was still sitting there in the 38th overall pick, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
They let Jonah Savaiinaea come to them and pounced at slot 58. It fills a real need, too.
Pick69 Rnd3 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
A quiet steal in the 77th pick: Jalen Royals for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. at pick No. 89 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick105 Rnd4 Omarr Norman-Lott
Steal is underselling it; Omarr Norman-Lott at pick 105 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick145 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce in Round 5, Pick 6 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd7 Cobee Bryant
They robbed the room for Cobee Bryant here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
They will replay Jaylen Reed at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick240 Rnd7 Woody Marks
A running back of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 22 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
