Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Patriots a A-.

Nobody had Roger Rosengarten this high, and it is not close. The Patriots reached 36 spots to get him at the 139th overall pick.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Spending an early pick on TE-EDGE with edge rusher and quarterback open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The Patriots paired the rookies with proven help, Justin Fields leading the way.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 13 they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Good price on Tyler Guyton in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick68 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in pick No. 68 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Cade Stover
A want over a need in Round 3, Pick 13: Cade Stover adds a TE-EDGE while edge rusher and quarterback keeps waiting.
Pick103 Rnd4 Tyrice Knight
A conviction pick on Tyrice Knight at the 103rd pick that the board grades a round light. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick110 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Will Shipley at the 110th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick139 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Roger Rosengarten well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in slot 182 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick224 Rnd7 Ja'Had Carter
Ja'Had Carter in pick No. 224 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick232 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
Daequan Hardy in Round 7, Pick 12 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
