Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesD- FutureA
The phones sank the Patriots this weekend: C+.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Patriots did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

They are betting Wilson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

The Gray value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In pick 26 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
A clean, defensible pick in the 34th pick with a little surplus value in Tyler Guyton. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick41 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A conviction pick on Xavier Legette at slot 41 that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
No drama and no debate, Kamari Lassiter went about where he belonged in pick No. 58. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick68 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick92 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Johnny Wilson. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick103 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in the 103rd overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick137 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at No. 137 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick180 Rnd6 Myles Harden
Myles Harden at the 180th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick193 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A real head-scratcher, Joe Milton III in pick 193 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Nathaniel Watson at the 220th pick is the proof. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
