Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Patriots a A-.

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

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The cost of the Rattler reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

The Josh Oliver deal gives the class an established piece to lean on. The Hadden steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jared Verse
Jared Verse in Round 1, Pick 11 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick23 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In No. 23 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Troy Franklin. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Nice patience on Kingsley Suamataia, who had no business lasting to the 68th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick103 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
Spencer Rattler at slot 103 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick137 Rnd5 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in pick 137 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
Pick180 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
A slide stopped in the 180th overall pick, with Kamal Hadden worth more than the price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick193 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
