Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots let Gabriel fall into their laps, and walked away with a A.

Thirty-one other rooms let Dillon Gabriel slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at pick No. 219. Highway robbery.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Reaching for Vinson left real value on the table behind him. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In No. 20 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick25 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 25 they get a load in the middle. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick No. 27 they get a matchup problem out wide, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Good price on Aireontae Ersery in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at the 69th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick128 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Denzel Burke in pick 128, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick136 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
They barely believed it either: Barrett Carter still on the board at the 136th pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick145 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
A offensive lineman of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 6 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick193 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson at pick No. 193 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick219 Rnd7 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel in slot 219 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick222 Rnd7 Pat Bryant
Steal is underselling it; Pat Bryant at No. 222 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick240 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in the 240th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
