Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA
The phones sank the Patriots this weekend: C+.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Patriots took Fentrell Cypress II a full 37 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

Getting McCord where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In pick No. 5 they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at pick 36 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Ollie Gordon II
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ollie Gordon II at No. 67 is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Good price on Colston Loveland in the 69th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick93 Rnd3 Keon Sabb
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Keon Sabb in the 93rd pick, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick100 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in Round 3, Pick 36 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick103 Rnd4 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in the 103rd pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick107 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
By-the-book stuff, Ozzy Trapilo at No. 107 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
They liked Jamon Dumas-Johnson enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 5 slot. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick217 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
Will Sheppard at pick No. 217 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick220 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
Fentrell Cypress II in Round 7, Pick 6 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick235 Rnd7 Kyle McCord
The board fumbled Kyle McCord all the way to slot 235, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
