Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesC- FutureA+
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Patriots.

The Patriots did not so much draft Frank Gore Jr. as overpay for him, 34 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

Getting Sainristil where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick No. 22 they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Bo Nix
Nothing to complain about; Bo Nix went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick37 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin in the 37th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick53 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Good price on Kris Jenkins in No. 53, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
No edge and no loss on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in slot 68; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick69 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
This one needs a full-page explanation: Brenden Rice in the Round 3 slot, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick103 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at the 103rd overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick137 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
A quiet steal in Round 5, Pick 1: Johnny Wilson for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jared Wiley well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick193 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at No. 193 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick231 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
A wild overpay on LaDarius Henderson in slot 231, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
