Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB
The Patriots robbed the room for Dixon. Final grade: D+.

Somebody took the Patriots to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. The process wobbled, and the D+ is where it lands.

Every board in the league had Rattler lower, and that gap is the story. The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Dixon.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and safety is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 27th overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Nothing to complain about; Tyler Guyton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick35 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at Round 2, Pick 3 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick50 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
They took Kingsley Suamataia at par in slot 50, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick66 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
They paid sticker price for Ruke Orhorhoro in pick 66, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick68 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick90 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
A real head-scratcher, Spencer Rattler in Round 3, Pick 27 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick103 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
They did well to land MarShawn Lloyd in the Round 4 slot, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick109 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zak Zinter. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick161 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They let Luke McCaffrey come to them and pounced at the 161st overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy at No. 171 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick172 Rnd5 Fabien Lovett
A premium they did not need to pay, Fabien Lovett a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylen Harrell well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick226 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon at pick 226 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick231 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at the 231st pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
They paid up for Jalen Coker at the 243rd overall pick when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
