s4d5f6 DRAFTING FOR THEPatriots
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall

FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Patriots a B-. The rest of the league had time to spare on Jackson Woodard; the Patriots did not wait, grabbing him 108 spots ahead at pick 222.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Getting Trapilo where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In No. 4 they get a featured back. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
They took Tyleik Williams at par in the 38th pick, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
No drama and no debate, Tate Ratledge went about where he belonged in the 69th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick77
Rnd3
Jaylin Noel
A real head-scratcher, Jaylin Noel in the Round 3 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick105
Rnd4
Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in slot 105 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick145
Rnd5
KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith at Round 5, Pick 6 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick219
Rnd7
Andrew Armstrong
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Andrew Armstrong well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jackson Woodard
They reached a country mile for Jackson Woodard at the 222nd pick, and the board is aghast. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick240
Rnd7
Ben Yurosek
Ben Yurosek at Round 7, Pick 22 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
