Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Patriots robbed the room for Wright. Final grade: D.

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.

The Wright pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In slot 15 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Bo Nix
A tidy little value on Bo Nix in Round 2, Pick 2, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick47 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
They read the board right and Ja'Tavion Sanders was the payoff at the 47th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan slid further than he should have, and the 49th pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
They paid sticker price for Devontez Walker in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick80 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
A tidy bit of business in pick 80, where Christian Haynes graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick85 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil slipping to No. 85 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick97 Rnd3 Malik Washington
Malik Washington in the Round 3 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at the 103rd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick107 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in the 107th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick137 Rnd5 Beau Brade
A clean, defensible pick in pick 137 with a little surplus value in Beau Brade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick156 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
A slide stopped in Round 5, Pick 20, with Tommy Eichenberg worth more than the price. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick180 Rnd6 Nelson Ceaser
Nice patience on Nelson Ceaser, who had no business lasting to slot 180. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick193 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
Good price on Tahj Washington in pick No. 193, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick206 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Curtis Jacobs in Round 6, Pick 31. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick231 Rnd7 Trey Knox
The board had Trey Knox higher than the 231st pick, and the tight end fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick243 Rnd7 Daijahn Anthony
Fair-plus on Daijahn Anthony, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
