Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesD FutureA+
Grand theft in slot 219: the Patriots steal Rourke and grade out a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Kurtis Rourke, pick 219, roughly 84 picks past where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 12th overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in Round 2, Pick 6 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick39 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
They read the board right and Colston Loveland was the payoff at pick No. 39. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick77 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in pick 77 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick145 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Anthony Belton in slot 145, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
They robbed the room for Jeffrey Bassa here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick219 Rnd7 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke in No. 219 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
They will replay Jake Briningstool at the 222nd pick for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick240 Rnd7 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt at Round 7, Pick 22 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
