Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesD- FutureA+
The Patriots got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the B.

The tape said wait; the Patriots did not. Zion Tupuola-Fetui went at the 180th overall pick, a good 35 picks before the board was ready.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The Sanders steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 15th pick they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in slot 34 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick46 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey at Round 2, Pick 14 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick68 Rnd3 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick82 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A premium they did not need to pay, Khyree Jackson a notch or two before his time. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick103 Rnd4 Ray Davis
Ray Davis at the 103rd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick137 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in the 137th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick180 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zion Tupuola-Fetui. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick193 Rnd6 Walter Rouse
You do not let an offensive lineman like Walter Rouse reach pick No. 193 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick231 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at Round 7, Pick 11 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
