Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB+
The Patriots got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C+.

Nobody had Tyler Loop this high, and it is not close. The Patriots reached 105 spots to get him at Round 7, Pick 1.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Emmanwori falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 10 they get a workhorse for the backfield at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick17 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In pick 17 they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They will replay Nick Emmanwori at Round 2, Pick 6 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick81 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Nice patience on Omarr Norman-Lott, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick144 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at slot 144 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick217 Rnd7 Tyler Loop
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tyler Loop. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick220 Rnd7 Andrew Armstrong
A real head-scratcher, Andrew Armstrong in Round 7, Pick 4 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick238 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 238, where Carson Vinson graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
