Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueA NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB+
The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Strong: A-.

Call it larceny. Dorian Strong sat on the board until slot 240, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Michael Pittman Jr. deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 14th pick they get a disruptive interior force, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III in Round 2, Pick 1 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They robbed the room for Tyler Warren here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
You do not let a wide receiver like Jalen Royals reach No. 90 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick100 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson in slot 100 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick105 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the 105th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick145 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
Circle this one: Ajani Cornelius at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick147 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in pick No. 147 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick222 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 222nd overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick240 Rnd7 Dorian Strong
Somehow Dorian Strong was still sitting there in slot 240, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
