Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Gadsden II: A-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Oronde Gadsden II had no business being available in the 217th overall pick, and the Patriots did the only sane thing and turned in the card. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want. The cost of the Hemingway reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Josh Conerly Jr. at the 38th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tre Harris
They will replay Tre Harris at pick No. 69 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick77 Rnd3 Trey Amos
Taking Trey Amos in pick 77 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick106 Rnd4 Savion Williams
A quiet steal in the 106th pick: Savion Williams for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick144 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Steal is underselling it; Hollin Pierce at No. 144 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick217 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at Round 7, Pick 1 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick220 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Nothing to complain about; Carson Vinson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway at the Round 7 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
