Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots turned the phones into found money: B+.

Nobody else had Isaac Guerendo anywhere near pick No. 229. The Patriots did, by 66 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Wilson. The Drew Dalman pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick No. 8 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Legette at slot 34, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick43 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
By-the-book stuff, Patrick Paul at No. 43 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick68 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
A real head-scratcher, Spencer Rattler in the 68th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick74 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Payton Wilson at pick 74. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick108 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the 108th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick148 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
They took Theo Johnson at par in Round 5, Pick 12, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick182 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark in slot 182 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick229 Rnd7 Isaac Guerendo
They reached into another round for Isaac Guerendo, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
