Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The Patriots got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C+.

Nobody else had Blake Fisher anywhere near the 68th overall pick. The Patriots did, by 31 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Suamataia. The veteran additions, Demario Davis chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Hit on Brian Thomas Jr. and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 22 they get a go-to option on the outside, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick68 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in Round 3, Pick 4 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick70 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick103 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
Spencer Rattler at the 103rd overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick139 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
They took Theo Johnson at par in slot 139, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
They liked Jaylen Wright enough to skip the value, taking him in the 143rd pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick224 Rnd7 Dylan McMahon
They paid a round early for Dylan McMahon in the 224th overall pick, more than the board wanted. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick234 Rnd7 Mark Perry
Mark Perry in the Round 7 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
