Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Patriots, and a B- to prove it.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named edge rusher, a need the Patriots walked right past.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Helm. Trapilo has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
They took Tetairoa McMillan at par in pick No. 4, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick38 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
They jumped the gun on Aireontae Ersery, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick69 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
They liked Ozzy Trapilo enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 69. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick77 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick106 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
The board had Gunnar Helm higher than slot 106, and the tight end fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick144 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
The board had cheaper options than Damien Martinez at pick 144, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick217 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson at Round 7, Pick 1 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick220 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw slipping to the 220th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Mac McWilliams
Mac McWilliams in the 238th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
