Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Patriots let Gordon II fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-.

Somebody in No. 220 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Patriots sat still while Ollie Gordon II, the No. 171 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

They are betting Hairston proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. It is not that Simon is a bad player; it is that the Patriots had louder needs to answer first.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the 14th overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea in No. 38 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick45 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at pick 45 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick69 Rnd3 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard at pick No. 69 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
They read the board right and Isaiah Bond was the payoff at the 86th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick106 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
They will replay Chris Paul Jr. at Round 4, Pick 4 for years; that is how good the value is. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick125 Rnd4 Cody Simon
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots to take Cody Simon, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick144 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick217 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 217th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick220 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
A running back of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick238 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Steal is underselling it; Luke Lachey at slot 238 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
