Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesC FutureA+
Larceny in slot 137 lands the Patriots a B, Brownlee Jr. and all.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jarvis Brownlee Jr. got past him. The Patriots do not have to explain a thing at the Round 5 slot.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Divine Deablo deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Every board in the league had Smith lower, and that gap is the story.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the 13th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
They paid sticker price for Ja'Tavion Sanders in slot 34, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick44 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Troy Franklin at pick No. 44 is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
No drama and no debate, Mike Sainristil went about where he belonged in pick 68. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick103 Rnd4 Maason Smith
Maason Smith at the 103rd pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick137 Rnd5 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Circle this one: Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick180 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Malik Mustapha at No. 180. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick193 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
The board fumbled Cody Schrader all the way to Round 6, Pick 18, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick231 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas in pick 231 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
