Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C-
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Patriots got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Patriots shredded theirs for Ozzy Trapilo. He came off 69 spots early, and the room will hear about it. It nets out a thoroughly average C-.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The Briningstool steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick No. 8 they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
A reach for Tyler Warren in No. 36; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick65 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at the 65th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at Round 3, Pick 3 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick79 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
They talked themselves into Smael Mondon Jr. at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick103 Rnd4 Sonny Styles
A wild overpay on Sonny Styles in pick 103, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool at pick 220 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
Jimmy Horn Jr. in the 238th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
