Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Patriots: B-.

The Patriots spent real capital to be 82 picks early on Tyler Batty, and the board is going to hold them to it.

The Thornton Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In No. 4 they get a cornerstone up front. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
No edge and no loss on Tyler Booker in Round 2, Pick 6; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick69 Rnd3 Aireontae Ersery
Steal is underselling it; Aireontae Ersery at the 69th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
By-the-book stuff, Isaiah Bond at pick 77 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick106 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Smael Mondon Jr.. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick144 Rnd5 Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty at slot 144 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick217 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
The board fumbled Dont'e Thornton Jr. all the way to slot 217, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick220 Rnd7 Gino Garcia
Gino Garcia in No. 220 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick238 Rnd7 Alex Mastromanno
Alex Mastromanno at the 238th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
