Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Patriots won the night they stopped Hopper from sliding. Grade: C.

You could see the war room lean forward. Ty'Ron Hopper at No. 229 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The Rice reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Hit on Olumuyiwa Fashanu and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 15th overall pick they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
They paid sticker price for J.J. McCarthy in the 34th pick, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick46 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Roman Wilson at slot 46, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They reached a country mile for Brenden Rice at pick No. 68, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick82 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
They paid up for Bucky Irving at the Round 3 slot when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick104 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They talked themselves into Ben Sinnott at pick 104, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick136 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
They paid a round early for Roger Rosengarten in No. 136, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick182 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A premium they did not need to pay, Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick229 Rnd7 Ty'Ron Hopper
Steal is underselling it; Ty'Ron Hopper at the 229th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
