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

The Patriots looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Tyler Loop at Round 7, Pick 22 regardless, 87 picks early. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Edwards steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
They liked Donovan Ezeiruaku enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 38. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick49 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at pick No. 49 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in the 69th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick77 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
By-the-book stuff, Ozzy Trapilo at the 77th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick90 Rnd3 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson in pick 90 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick106 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Nice patience on Kevin Winston Jr., who had no business lasting to the 106th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick144 Rnd5 Connor Colby
They left a pile of value on the table to take Connor Colby this early at pick No. 144. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick190 Rnd6 Antwane Wells Jr.
They took Antwane Wells Jr. at par in Round 6, Pick 14, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick195 Rnd6 RJ Oben
A real head-scratcher, RJ Oben in the 195th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick217 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
A reach on Desmond Watson in slot 217; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick220 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
The board had Donovan Edwards higher than No. 220, and the running back fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tyler Loop
Tyler Loop at pick 238 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
