Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Patriots were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. That Castro pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

In the end it comes back to Jonah Savaiinaea, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jonah Savaiinaea
They paid sticker price for Jonah Savaiinaea in pick No. 28, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
Jack Sawyer slid further than he should have, and the 34th overall pick is lovely value for the edge rusher. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick60 Rnd2 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at Round 2, Pick 28 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick66 Rnd3 Trevor Etienne
No drama and no debate, Trevor Etienne went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick92 Rnd3 Sebastian Castro
The board had Sebastian Castro higher than No. 92, and the safety fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick98 Rnd4 Bear Alexander
They took Bear Alexander at par in slot 98, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick130 Rnd5 Riley Mahlman
Riley Mahlman in pick 130 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick194 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
They jumped the gun on Fentrell Cypress II, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
