Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesD- FutureA+
The Patriots let Thornton Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Dont'e Thornton Jr., the No. 174 name on the board, stolen at No. 234. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Every board in the league had Hemingway lower, and that gap is the story. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In No. 14 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jalon Walker at pick No. 38 is the proof. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
No edge and no loss on Jonah Savaiinaea in Round 2, Pick 13; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick77 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
They did well to land Maxwell Hairston in pick 77, just ahead of his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the 105th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
Circle this one: Jordan Phillips at the 145th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick219 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Alijah Huzzie in slot 219, plain and simple. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick222 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
By-the-book stuff, Trevor Etienne at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick234 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They robbed the room for Dont'e Thornton Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick240 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
A reach on Tonka Hemingway in slot 240; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
