Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Patriots robbed the room for Fitzgerald. Final grade: B+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Ryan Fitzgerald got past him. The Patriots do not have to explain a thing at pick 222.

Every board in the league had Pegues lower, and that gap is the story. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In slot 14 they get a mismatch in the passing game. A real need, handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In pick 27 they get a long-term starter on the line, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
They paid a round early for Isaiah Bond in the Round 2 slot, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at the 69th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jake Majors
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jake Majors. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick145 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in pick No. 145 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jackson Hawes in the 219th overall pick, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick222 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
Steal is underselling it; Ryan Fitzgerald at Round 7, Pick 4 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick240 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
They paid sticker price for Marcus Yarns in the 240th overall pick, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
