Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Thornton Jr.: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Dont'e Thornton Jr. slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at No. 220. Highway robbery. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Reaching for Kendall left real value on the table behind him. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick 4 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Taking Tyler Warren in slot 38 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at Round 3, Pick 5 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick77 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at the 77th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at the 106th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
The board had cheaper options than Andres Borregales at pick No. 144, and it noticed. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick171 Rnd5 Drew Kendall
Drew Kendall at No. 171 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick220 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
By-the-book stuff, Jermari Harris at the 238th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
