Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots let Tracy Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Tyrone Tracy Jr. got past him. The Patriots do not have to explain a thing at the 250th overall pick.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The Patriots paired the rookies with proven help, Christian Wilkins leading the way. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
The board had Keon Coleman higher than the 34th pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at the 114th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick143 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the Round 5 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick151 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Value with a capital V on Luke McCaffrey in pick 151, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick182 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Fair-plus on Zion Tupuola-Fetui, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick185 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at pick No. 185 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick229 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
Circle this one: JD Bertrand at Round 7, Pick 9 is a fall that decides a draft. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick237 Rnd7 Austin Stogner
They will replay Austin Stogner at slot 237 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick250 Rnd7 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. at the 250th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
