Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesF FutureA+
The Patriots got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C+.

Nobody had Earnest Greene III this high, and it is not close. The Patriots reached 63 spots to get him at pick 35. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. However the rest shakes out, Ayomanor at that price is a win they earned.

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

If Travis Hunter and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In pick No. 7 they get a ballhawk on the outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick35 Rnd2 Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III in the 35th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick67 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Elic Ayomanor in pick 67. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick99 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
They reached into another round for Andrew Mukuba, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick131 Rnd5 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick195 Rnd7 Chris Tyree
They talked themselves into Chris Tyree at No. 195, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
