Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesD FutureA+
Grand theft in slot 222: the Patriots steal Shough and grade out a B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Tyler Shough at pick No. 222 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The Thomas reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In the 25th pick they get a building block for the line, though they paid up to get him.
Pick27 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick 27 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Nice patience on Aireontae Ersery, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 26. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in the 69th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick77 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
A tidy little value on Omarr Norman-Lott in pick No. 77, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick89 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Circle this one: Andrew Mukuba at slot 89 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick136 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick151 Rnd5 R Mason Thomas
R Mason Thomas at No. 151 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick156 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
A tidy bit of business in the 156th overall pick, where Oronde Gadsden II graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick222 Rnd7 Tyler Shough
Taking Tyler Shough in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter at Round 7, Pick 22 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
