Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Oronde Gadsden II pick is the one that will follow the Patriots into the fall. They took him 26 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick No. 4 they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
A reach for TreVeyon Henderson in the 38th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the Round 3 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jared Wilson this early at slot 77. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
A conviction pick on Joshua Farmer at the 106th overall pick that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick144 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Emery Jones Jr. at Round 5, Pick 6 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the 171st pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick220 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
Craig Woodson at Round 7, Pick 4 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238 Rnd7 Shemar James
They took Shemar James at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
