Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Patriots a B+.

The war room fell hard for Taulia Tagovailoa, and it showed at the Round 7 slot: 58 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. If one pick saves this weekend, it is McGlothern.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Chop Robinson at pick 34. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick58 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at No. 58 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick68 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
They took Mike Sainristil at par in Round 3, Pick 4, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick87 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
Value said wait; Mekhi Wingo in the 87th overall pick says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick103 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
They talked themselves into Isaac Guerendo at pick No. 103, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick137 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
The board had cheaper options than Luke McCaffrey at No. 137, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick180 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Taking Dwight McGlothern in Round 6, Pick 5 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick193 Rnd6 Trente Jones
Trente Jones at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick231 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa at pick 231 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
