Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots let Etienne fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

When a board-topper like Trevor Etienne slides to the 240th overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the Patriots did not. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Jones Jr. has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In pick No. 12 they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in pick 38 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at the Round 2 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick69 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond slipping to No. 69 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick77 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in slot 77 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Value with a capital V on Denzel Burke in the 105th pick, a genuine coup. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick110 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Emery Jones Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick113 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
No edge and no loss on Hollin Pierce in the 113th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick145 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson at the 145th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick240 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
Somehow Trevor Etienne was still sitting there in No. 240, and they pounced on premier running back value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
