Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Gordon II: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Ollie Gordon II at Round 7, Pick 4 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The Trapilo reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 4th overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka is a better player than pick No. 38 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ozzy Trapilo in No. 69, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick77 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
A wild overpay on Joshua Farmer in slot 105, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick145 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon slipping to pick 145 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick219 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at Round 7, Pick 1 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick222 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at the 222nd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick240 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
They took Miles Frazier at par in the 240th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
