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

When a board-topper like Spencer Rattler slides to the 182nd overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the Patriots did not.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In slot 3 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 JC Latham
The board fumbled JC Latham all the way to the Round 2 slot, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick68 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
They took Xavier Legette at par in No. 68, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at the 104th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick136 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at pick 136 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick182 Rnd6 Spencer Rattler
Spencer Rattler at Round 6, Pick 7 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Isaac Guerendo
You do not let a running back like Isaac Guerendo reach pick No. 229 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
