Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD- FutureA+
The Patriots lost the trade table, and the B tells the story.

The phones were a trap the Patriots kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The Hartman pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 13th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Fair-plus on Graham Barton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at pick No. 68 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at the 103rd overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick139 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at pick 139 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick150 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. at Round 5, Pick 14 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in slot 182 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick190 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at the Round 6 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan slipping to slot 224 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
