Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
The Patriots let Gordon II fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Patriots watched Ollie Gordon II slide 80 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

Reaching for Pegues left real value on the table behind him. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jonah Savaiinaea
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a building block for the line, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tre Harris
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tre Harris in pick 38. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick45 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at the 45th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at slot 69 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra in the Round 3 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick104 Rnd4 Oronde Gadsden II
They left a pile of value on the table to take Oronde Gadsden II this early at pick No. 104. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick143 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at No. 143 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in the 217th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick220 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Steal is underselling it; Kyle Monangai at No. 220 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick238 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in the 238th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
