Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA
The Patriots bled value on every deal, hence the C.

The phones were a trap the Patriots kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.

If Liufau pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Getting Booker where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Hit on Joe Alt and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick No. 4 they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
They did well to land Brian Thomas Jr. in the 34th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Good price on Adonai Mitchell in pick 35, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick81 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
By-the-book stuff, Calen Bullock at No. 81 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick90 Rnd3 Austin Booker
Austin Booker at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick102 Rnd4 Maason Smith
They paid a round early for Maason Smith in slot 102, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in the 103rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick104 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at Round 4, Pick 4 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
They paid sticker price for Cole Bishop in Round 4, Pick 5, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick121 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
A reasonable price with a little left over, Elijah Jones in No. 121. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick136 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at pick No. 136 is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick137 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Marist Liufau well ahead of where he belonged. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick145 Rnd5 AJ Barner
They reached a country mile for AJ Barner at the 145th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick179 Rnd6 Myles Cole
Myles Cole at the 179th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick186 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
Fair-plus on Tip Reiman, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick187 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A conviction pick on Joe Milton III at the Round 6 slot that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick192 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Javontae Jean-Baptiste in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick193 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
A premium they did not need to pay, Julian Pearl a notch or two before his time. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
