Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
Larceny in No. 223 lands the Patriots a B, Paul Jr. and all.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Patriots were there to profit. Chris Paul Jr., the No. 119 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 223rd overall pick. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The Batty reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
Tetairoa McMillan in the 3rd pick is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Grey Zabel
Grey Zabel in the Round 2 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick70 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at Round 3, Pick 6 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jack Nelson
A real head-scratcher, Jack Nelson in the 80th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick106 Rnd4 Tory Horton
They paid sticker price for Tory Horton in pick No. 106, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick141 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at pick 141 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick146 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in slot 146 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick221 Rnd7 Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty at No. 221 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick223 Rnd7 Chris Paul Jr.
They barely believed it either: Chris Paul Jr. still on the board at slot 223. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
Somehow Jared Wilson was still sitting there in pick No. 235, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
