Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureA+
The Patriots checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Patriots treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick No. 195 on Chris Tyree a full 59 spots early. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

That Starks pick is the receipt they will wave around later. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
In pick No. 20 they get a double-digit-sack hope. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Emery Jones
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Emery Jones. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick45 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They barely believed it either: Malaki Starks still on the board at the 45th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Elic Ayomanor
A straight-up fair deal on Elic Ayomanor at pick 52, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick67 Rnd3 Earnest Greene III
They talked themselves into Earnest Greene III at the 67th pick, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick99 Rnd4 Aireontae Ersery
They reached into another round for Aireontae Ersery, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick131 Rnd5 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at the 131st overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks at Round 5, Pick 20 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick195 Rnd7 Chris Tyree
A wild overpay on Chris Tyree in No. 195, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
