Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

The Patriots ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

They are betting Jones Jr. proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Landing White III that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick96 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at pick No. 96 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick106 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in Round 4, Pick 4 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick116 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
A wild overpay on Emery Jones Jr. in No. 116, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick144 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough in the 144th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kalel Mullings
They did well to land Kalel Mullings in slot 171, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick220 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Luke Lachey in the 220th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick238 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Ricky White III is a better player than pick 238 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
