Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots turned the phones into found money: B.

The real work happened on the phones. The Patriots fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

They banked enough surplus on Gore Jr. to cover a lot of smaller sins. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 JC Latham
In slot 12 they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kris Abrams-Draine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick95 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
No edge and no loss on Brenden Rice in pick No. 95; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
A tidy little value on Christian Mahogany in No. 104, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick108 Rnd4 Ray Davis
Ray Davis in pick 108 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They took Cedric Gray at par in Round 4, Pick 22, which is nothing to complain about. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick140 Rnd5 Michael Pratt
A straight-up fair deal on Michael Pratt at the 140th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick148 Rnd5 Kalen King
A quiet steal in the 148th pick: Kalen King for less than the market said. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick229 Rnd7 Myles Murphy
Myles Murphy in the Round 7 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick237 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. slipping to No. 237 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
