Draft Grade — Patriots

FutureA+
The Patriots robbed the room for Thornton Jr.. Final grade: A-. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Dont'e Thornton Jr., No. 219, roughly 41 picks past where he belonged. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.
In the end it comes back to Tyler Warren, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In slot 14 they get a red-zone target to build around at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in the 55th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick77
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
A tidy little value on Omarr Norman-Lott in pick 77, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick103
Rnd4
Ozzy Trapilo
A tidy bit of business in the 103rd pick, where Ozzy Trapilo graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick145
Rnd5
Bhayshul Tuten
The board had cheaper options than Bhayshul Tuten at the Round 5 slot, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick191
Rnd6
Damien Martinez
The board fumbled Damien Martinez all the way to No. 191, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219
Rnd7
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at Round 7, Pick 1 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick222
Rnd7
Upton Stout
Steal is underselling it; Upton Stout at pick No. 222 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick234
Rnd7
Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks at the 234th pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick240
Rnd7
Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne in slot 240 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
