Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

The Patriots put a flag in the ground for Sheridan Jones, 45 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They banked enough surplus on Lovett to cover a lot of smaller sins. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers in No. 35 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick57 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
They paid sticker price for Denzel Burke in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick67 Rnd3 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at pick 67 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jalen Catalon
A wild overpay on Jalen Catalon in pick No. 199, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick234 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
This one needs a full-page explanation: Sheridan Jones in the 234th pick, miles early. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick237 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
Fentrell Cypress II at the 237th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick246 Rnd7 Dominic Lovett
Dominic Lovett at No. 246 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
