Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
Grand theft in pick 222: the Patriots steal Giddens and grade out a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. DJ Giddens tumbling to the Patriots in the 222nd overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They will need Ersery to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick38 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
The board had cheaper options than Aireontae Ersery at the 38th pick, and it noticed. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick39 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at pick 39 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Elijah Arroyo
The board fumbled Elijah Arroyo all the way to pick No. 105, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at the 145th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at slot 149 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick219 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
You do not let a wide receiver like Dont'e Thornton Jr. reach Round 7, Pick 1 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick222 Rnd7 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens in No. 222 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
They barely believed it either: Jordan Hancock still on the board at pick No. 240. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
