Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueA NeedB TradesC+ FutureA+
Shough should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a B+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Tyler Shough got past him. The Patriots do not have to explain a thing at slot 222. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Caelen Carson deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 12th pick they get a featured back at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They barely believed it either: Tyler Warren still on the board at the 38th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69 Rnd3 Marcus Mbow
Somehow Marcus Mbow was still sitting there in No. 69, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick77 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas is a better player than Round 3, Pick 13 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick105 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro at pick 105 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick149 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
The board fumbled Ajani Cornelius all the way to pick No. 149, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Raheim Sanders in slot 219, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick222 Rnd7 Tyler Shough
You do not let a quarterback like Tyler Shough reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Steal is underselling it; Jamon Dumas-Johnson at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick249 Rnd7 Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. at the 249th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
