Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureA+
Grand theft in the 231st overall pick: the Patriots steal Wallace and grade out a A-.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named interior defensive lineman, a need the Patriots walked right past.

That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Every board in the league had Rattler lower, and that gap is the story.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick No. 9 they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Troy Fautanu at the Round 2 slot is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick68 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
Nothing to complain about; Bralen Trice went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
They did well to land Kamren Kinchens in slot 69, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Good price on Brenden Rice in pick 103, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick105 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
Spencer Rattler at Round 4, Pick 5 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Theo Johnson at No. 122 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick137 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
No drama and no debate, Jarrian Jones went about where he belonged in pick 137. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick180 Rnd6 Marist Liufau
Nice patience on Marist Liufau, who had no business lasting to the 180th pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick193 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
They paid up for Ryan Flournoy at pick No. 193 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in Round 7, Pick 5 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick231 Rnd7 Caedan Wallace
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Caedan Wallace in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
