Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesD FutureA
The Patriots robbed the room for Odunze. Final grade: B.

The Patriots spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Rome Odunze, the No. 11 name on the board, in pick 68. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

If Irving pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a true top target at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
They paid up for J.J. McCarthy at slot 34 when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick44 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
They paid sticker price for Patrick Paul in pick 44, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze in No. 68 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick77 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving at the 77th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick103 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Taking Brenden Rice in pick No. 103 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ben Sinnott. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick182 Rnd6 Ethan Driskell
No drama and no debate, Ethan Driskell went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
They let Jawhar Jordan come to them and pounced at the 224th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick232 Rnd7 Trevor Keegan
No edge and no loss on Trevor Keegan in No. 232; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
