Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-.

The Patriots bet big and early on Robbie Ouzts, 61 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

They banked enough surplus on Helm to cover a lot of smaller sins. The phones were where this weekend was really won. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In the end it comes back to Tyler Warren, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In slot 27 they get a seam-stretching tight end at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at pick No. 38 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick53 Rnd2 Ozzy Trapilo
They talked themselves into Ozzy Trapilo at pick 53, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick59 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
They paid sticker price for Bradyn Swinson in the 59th overall pick, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick69 Rnd3 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard at Round 3, Pick 5 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick77 Rnd3 Darien Porter
By-the-book stuff, Darien Porter at the 77th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick106 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce in pick 106 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
Taking Gunnar Helm in No. 121 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick129 Rnd4 LeQuint Allen
They liked LeQuint Allen enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 4 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick144 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at pick No. 144 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick212 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith slipping to Round 6, Pick 36 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick217 Rnd7 Caleb Rogers
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Caleb Rogers in the 217th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
The board had Jay Higgins higher than slot 220, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick238 Rnd7 Robbie Ouzts
A wild overpay on Robbie Ouzts in the 238th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
