Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Mims should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a B+.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Patriots were there to profit. Amarius Mims, the No. 22 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 68. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Sinnott reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Patriots paired the rookies with proven help, Bernhard Raimann leading the way.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In slot 12 they get a go-to option on the outside, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at pick 34 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick68 Rnd3 Amarius Mims
They will replay Amarius Mims at Round 3, Pick 4 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christian Mahogany. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick103 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Value said wait; Darius Robinson in No. 103 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick121 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They talked themselves into Ben Sinnott at the 121st pick, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick139 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick224 Rnd7 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis at the 224th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
