Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Patriots let Hopper fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Ty'Ron Hopper got past him. The Patriots do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 231. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The Budda Baker deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

If Milton III pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the 14th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front. A real need, handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the 27th pick they get a problem off the edge, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
A straight-up fair deal on Ja'Tavion Sanders at pick 34, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick43 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in No. 43 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
No drama and no debate, Jonathon Brooks went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 13. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick68 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
By-the-book stuff, Devontez Walker at pick No. 68 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
They took Mike Sainristil at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick79 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
They will replay Kamren Kinchens at slot 79 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
The board fumbled Ja'Lynn Polk all the way to Round 3, Pick 27, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in slot 103 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick137 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
They jumped the gun on Tommy Eichenberg, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jarrian Jones at pick 150 is the proof. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at pick No. 180 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick186 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A conviction pick on Joe Milton III at the 186th overall pick that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick193 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington at the 193rd pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick231 Rnd7 Ty'Ron Hopper
They barely believed it either: Ty'Ron Hopper still on the board at No. 231. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
