Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureC+
The Patriots let Hancock fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

When a board-topper like Jordan Hancock slides to pick 240, you do not overthink it, and the Patriots did not. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Reaching for Peebles left real value on the table behind him. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Josh Simmons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick47 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
They paid sticker price for Harold Fannin Jr. in No. 47, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick77 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Good price on Tate Ratledge in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
By-the-book stuff, Jared Ivey at the 78th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick101 Rnd3 Aeneas Peebles
They talked themselves into Aeneas Peebles at Round 3, Pick 37, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick133 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at pick 133 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick145 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nothing to complain about; Nick Nash went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
A big swing on Cody Lindenberg at slot 222, well ahead of any board in the building. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
The board fumbled Jordan Hancock all the way to No. 240, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
