Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall F
ValueC+ NeedC TradesF FutureC+
A weekend the Patriots spent ahead of the board, for worse: F.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Wendell Gregory at slot 99, a reach of 71 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The Washington value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

There is no soft landing here; this class has to massively overperform just to matter.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Chris Cole
In No. 21 they get a green-dot type in the middle. More want than need.
Pick35 Rnd2 Zabien Brown
Zabien Brown at pick 35 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick52 Rnd2 Duce Robinson
Duce Robinson in the 52nd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick67 Rnd3 Bray Hubbard
Bray Hubbard in the Round 3 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick85 Rnd3 LJ Martin
A reach on LJ Martin in slot 85; the board had better options right there. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick87 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington at the 87th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Wendell Gregory
Value said wait; Wendell Gregory in pick No. 99 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick105 Rnd4 Nyck Harbor
They reached into another round for Nyck Harbor, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tyrique Tucker
Tyrique Tucker in the 125th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132 Rnd4 Anthonie Knapp
They barely believed it either: Anthonie Knapp still on the board at the Round 4 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick138 Rnd4 Leroy Harris III
Leroy Harris III at Round 4, Pick 37 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick166 Rnd5 DJ Vonnahme
A conviction pick on DJ Vonnahme at the 166th overall pick that the board grades a round light. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick187 Rnd6 Christian Alliegro
A reach for Christian Alliegro in slot 187; a little patience would have been rewarded. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick199 Rnd6 Desmeal Leigh
Value with a capital V on Desmeal Leigh in No. 199, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Drew Bobo
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Drew Bobo at the Round 6 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick206 Rnd6 Blake Frazier
A tidy little value on Blake Frazier in pick 206, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick209 Rnd6 Maraad Watson
The board fumbled Maraad Watson all the way to slot 209, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick257 Rnd7 Kevin Jennings
They paid sticker price for Kevin Jennings in pick No. 257, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
