Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueD- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Patriots.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Shilo Sanders at pick 106, a reach of 185 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

Loveland falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In pick No. 4 they get a weapon on the perimeter, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in the Round 2 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick69 Rnd3 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at the 69th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick77 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
They let Dylan Sampson come to them and pounced at No. 77. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at pick 106 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick144 Rnd5 Colston Loveland
Taking Colston Loveland in slot 144 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jamon Dumas-Johnson. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick220 Rnd7 Joey Slackman
Value said wait; Joey Slackman in the 220th overall pick says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jah Joyner
They barely believed it either: Jah Joyner still on the board at pick No. 238. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
