Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA FutureD-
The Patriots checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Some picks age like wine; Bub Means at slot 231 will need to, sitting 30 spots clear of his grade. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In pick 27 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders at slot 39 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick47 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick68 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at the 68th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick136 Rnd4 Dylan Laube
A conviction pick on Dylan Laube at pick No. 136 that the board grades a round light. The roster fit checks out.
Pick179 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A big swing on Joe Milton III at pick No. 179, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick231 Rnd7 Bub Means
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Bub Means well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
