Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

There is reaching, and then there is Isaac Guerendo at the 229th pick. The Patriots jumped the board by 46 and dared it to prove them wrong. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Allen at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The Patriots paired the rookies with proven help, Will Hernandez leading the way.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 6 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell in No. 34 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick47 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in pick No. 47 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick69 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at the 69th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick71 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
They talked themselves into Spencer Rattler at pick 71, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in Round 3, Pick 27 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick104 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
A conviction pick on Leonard Taylor III at the 104th pick that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick136 Rnd4 Renardo Green
The board had cheaper options than Renardo Green at pick No. 136, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick182 Rnd6 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in pick 182 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick185 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at No. 185 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick229 Rnd7 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at Round 7, Pick 9 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
