Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA
The Patriots lost the trade table, and the D+ tells the story.

The Patriots put a flag in the ground for Ben Sinnott, 41 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In No. 6 they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at the 34th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick47 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in slot 47 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in pick 68 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick74 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
They left a pile of value on the table to take Bucky Irving this early at the 74th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick104 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in Round 4, Pick 4 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick136 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at slot 136 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick142 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
They did well to land Cedric Gray in the 142nd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick182 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Nothing to complain about; Roger Rosengarten went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
