Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Patriots turned the phones into found money: B+.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Patriots shredded theirs for Zak Zinter. He came off 34 spots early, and the room will hear about it. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In pick 5 they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
No edge and no loss on Jordan Morgan in Round 2, Pick 2; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick37 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in slot 37 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
They liked Michael Hall Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 69. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick70 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A wild overpay on Zak Zinter in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick106 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at pick No. 106 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick136 Rnd4 Dylan Laube
A premium they did not need to pay, Dylan Laube a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick139 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in the 139th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick140 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in the 140th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
A real head-scratcher, Jared Wiley in pick No. 179 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick182 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
A big swing on JD Bertrand at pick 182, well ahead of any board in the building. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick231 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
They reached into another round for Joshua Cephus, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
