Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots robbed the room for Strong. Final grade: A-.

The real work happened on the phones. The Patriots fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

The Strong steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Every board in the league had Harris lower, and that gap is the story. Adding Tytus Howard by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

In the end it comes back to Jonah Savaiinaea, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jonah Savaiinaea
In the 24th pick they get a blindside protector at fair value.
Pick34 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
Nice patience on Ashton Jeanty, who had no business lasting to slot 34. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kevin Winston Jr.
A quiet steal in No. 41: Kevin Winston Jr. for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick56 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at Round 2, Pick 24 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick70 Rnd3 Dillon Gabriel
Taking Dillon Gabriel in pick No. 70 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick85 Rnd3 Clay Webb
Clay Webb in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98 Rnd4 Sonny Styles
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 4 slot with a little surplus value in Sonny Styles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick130 Rnd5 Collin Oliver
Collin Oliver at pick 130 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139 Rnd5 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at No. 139 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick166 Rnd6 Jaheim Oatis
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jaheim Oatis in the 166th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick194 Rnd7 Dorian Strong
A cornerback of that caliber at pick No. 194 is the definition of value, full stop. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick219 Rnd7 Caullin Lacy
Value with a capital V on Caullin Lacy in the 219th overall pick, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
