New England Patriots

The Patriots lost the trade table, and the C+ tells the story.

The Patriots lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. A mixed bag that lands at C+.

Every board in the league had Gordon II lower, and that gap is the story. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Mills at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

So much rides on Ollie Gordon II that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.2 · Pick 2 · Ollie Gordon II · RB · rank 28
In the 2nd overall pick they get a centerpiece for the ground game, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Ajani Cornelius · OT · rank 66
A straight-up fair deal on Ajani Cornelius at No. 66, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.15 · Pick 111 · Rylie Mills · DL · rank 100
Rylie Mills in pick No. 111 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.2 · Pick 130 · Gentry Williams · CB · rank 128
No edge and no loss on Gentry Williams in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R7.32 · Pick 224 · Trikweze Bridges · CB · rank 232
Trikweze Bridges in pick 224 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
