Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Patriots bled value on every deal, hence the C.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with AJ Green at slot 125, a reach of 39 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The Fontenette value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

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

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 David Stone
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Nyck Harbor
A real head-scratcher, Nyck Harbor in No. 62 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick66 Rnd3 Bray Hubbard
A quiet steal in pick 66: Bray Hubbard for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick125 Rnd4 AJ Green
AJ Green at the 125th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick130 Rnd4 Drayk Bowen
No drama and no debate, Drayk Bowen went about where he belonged in the 130th overall pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick168 Rnd5 Dezz Ricks
A clean, defensible pick in slot 168 with a little surplus value in Dezz Ricks. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick189 Rnd6 Emerson Mandell
They jumped the gun on Emerson Mandell, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jaden Platt
Good price on Jaden Platt in pick 200, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick207 Rnd6 T.J. Moore
T.J. Moore at pick No. 207 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick209 Rnd6 Desmond Umeozulu
A wild overpay on Desmond Umeozulu in Round 6, Pick 30, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick246 Rnd7 Randon Fontenette
You do not let a cornerback like Randon Fontenette reach the 246th overall pick and blink. They did not. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
