Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in the 235th overall pick: the Patriots steal Gordon II and grade out a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Ollie Gordon II tumbling to the Patriots in the 235th pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

They will need Nwankpa to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The phones were where this weekend was really won. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In the 16th pick they get protection for the quarterback, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at No. 39 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick70 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A straight-up fair deal on Deone Walker at pick No. 70, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick80 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
They robbed the room for Colston Loveland here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
A quiet steal in pick 106: Danny Stutsman for less than the market said. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick141 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick221 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Clay Webb in the 221st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jonah Monheim in slot 223. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick235 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
They will replay Ollie Gordon II at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
