Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
The Patriots worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

The Patriots torched the value chart for Hayden Conner, taking him 65 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

The Phillips value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Adonai Mitchell pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the 14th pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
A tight end of that caliber at Round 2, Pick 6 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick44 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in the 44th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at pick No. 69 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey at pick 76 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick77 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins slid further than he should have, and No. 77 is lovely value for the running back. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick80 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in the Round 3 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick105 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
No edge and no loss on Smael Mondon Jr. in slot 105; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick145 Rnd5 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at pick No. 145 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick150 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
A premium they did not need to pay, Ajani Cornelius a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Jordan Phillips in the 152nd overall pick, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick219 Rnd7 Alex Mastromanno
A quiet steal in No. 219: Alex Mastromanno for less than the market said. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick220 Rnd7 Gino Garcia
They reached a country mile for Gino Garcia at the 220th pick, and the board is aghast. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
