Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall
A
ValueB
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Patriots worked the phones like thieves and earned a A. The Patriots went off the board in a big way for Austin Reed, 94 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Gould. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.
The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
They did well to land Malik Nabers in pick 10, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick20
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick No. 20 they get a building block for the line, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell in slot 34 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick57
Rnd2
Ja'Tavion Sanders
They robbed the room for Ja'Tavion Sanders here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick68
Rnd3
Troy Franklin
You do not let a wide receiver like Troy Franklin reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick72
Rnd3
Spencer Rattler
Value said wait; Spencer Rattler in Round 3, Pick 8 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick92
Rnd3
Matt Goncalves
A real head-scratcher, Matt Goncalves in pick 92 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick103
Rnd4
Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at pick No. 103 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick119
Rnd4
Blake Corum
Blake Corum at slot 119 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick137
Rnd5
Kris Abrams-Draine
They will replay Kris Abrams-Draine at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick180
Rnd6
Austin Reed
Austin Reed in Round 6, Pick 5 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick193
Rnd6
James Williams
James Williams at the 193rd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick220
Rnd6
Steele Chambers
Taking Steele Chambers in the 220th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick226
Rnd7
Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould in No. 226 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick231
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
They reached a country mile for Sam Hartman at the 231st overall pick, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
