Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureA-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B+ for the Patriots.

The Patriots spent real capital to be 29 picks early on Marist Liufau, and the board is going to hold them to it.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Spending an early pick on OLB-EDGE with interior defensive lineman and safety open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They banked enough surplus on Odunze to cover a lot of smaller sins.

It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick No. 11 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 27th overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in pick 34 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick40 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
The board had J.J. McCarthy higher than No. 40, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick43 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at Round 2, Pick 11 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at the Round 3 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick68 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
No drama and no debate, Devontez Walker went about where he belonged in pick 68. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick72 Rnd3 Cade Stover
They took Cade Stover at par in the 72nd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at slot 103 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick105 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
By-the-book stuff, Zak Zinter at Round 4, Pick 5 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick111 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick No. 111 on Javon Solomon with interior defensive lineman and safety unsolved.
Pick137 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
Value said wait; Marist Liufau in No. 137 says they were not listening. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick167 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at the 167th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick180 Rnd6 Myles Cole
The board had cheaper options than Myles Cole at the Round 6 slot, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick222 Rnd7 Julian Pearl
They barely believed it either: Julian Pearl still on the board at No. 222. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick226 Rnd7 Trey Knox
A clean, defensible pick in the 226th pick with a little surplus value in Trey Knox. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
