Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA FutureA+
The Patriots won the night they stopped Rakestraw Jr. from sliding. Grade: A-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Ennis Rakestraw Jr. had no business being available in pick 68, and the Patriots did the only sane thing and turned in the card. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.

The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They are betting Murphy proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In pick 25 they get a problem off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 27th overall pick they get juice off the edge, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 JC Latham
They will replay JC Latham at pick No. 34 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick35 Rnd2 Bo Nix
No edge and no loss on Bo Nix in the 35th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick68 Rnd3 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in No. 68 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: Jeremiah Trotter Jr. for less than the market said. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick103 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Will Shipley at Round 4, Pick 3 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick137 Rnd5 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
A slide stopped in slot 137, with Tyrone Tracy Jr. worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick180 Rnd6 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker in the 180th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
They read the board right and Tahj Washington was the payoff at pick No. 193. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jaylan Ford
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jaylan Ford at No. 226 is the proof. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick231 Rnd7 Myles Murphy
Myles Murphy in the 231st pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
