New England Patriots

A masterclass at the trade table lands the Patriots a B+.

When a board-topper like Jordan Hancock slides to the 240th pick, you do not overthink it, and the Patriots did not. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

The Mills reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The phones were where this weekend was really won. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.4 · Pick 4 · Abdul Carter · DE-EDGE · rank 3
A straight-up fair deal on Abdul Carter at slot 4, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Tre Harris · WR · rank 48
A wide receiver of that caliber at Round 3, Pick 5 is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Darien Porter · CB · rank 79
Darien Porter at Round 3, Pick 13 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.32 · Pick 96 · Rylie Mills · DL · rank 138
Rylie Mills at slot 96 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.4 · Pick 105 · Hollin Pierce · OT · rank 117
Hollin Pierce at the 105th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
R4.28 · Pick 129 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 105
Cam Skattebo in No. 129 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.6 · Pick 145 · Chase Lundt · OT · rank 168
Chase Lundt at pick No. 145 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · Connor Colby · OG · rank 179
They took Connor Colby at par in pick 172, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Dont'e Thornton Jr. · WR · rank 180
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 174th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.1 · Pick 219 · Jamon Dumas-Johnson · LB · rank 213
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 7 slot with a little surplus value in Jamon Dumas-Johnson. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R7.4 · Pick 222 · Moliki Matavao · TE · rank 251
Moliki Matavao in the 222nd overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.22 · Pick 240 · Jordan Hancock · S · rank 199
Steal is underselling it; Jordan Hancock at No. 240 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
