Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C
ValueC+ NeedB TradesD FutureB-
The Patriots bled value on every deal, hence the C.

The Patriots lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The Rice reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

If Olumuyiwa Fashanu and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In No. 6 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
They took Tyler Guyton at par in the 34th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A reach on Kingsley Suamataia in Round 2, Pick 7; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick47 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at slot 47 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
They liked Roman Wilson enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 68. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
A slide stopped in pick No. 104, with Bucky Irving worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick108 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at the 108th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick136 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They paid up for Ben Sinnott at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick182 Rnd6 Javon Baker
They paid sticker price for Javon Baker in Round 6, Pick 7, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan at the 229th pick is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
