C

New England Patriots

The phones sank the Patriots this weekend: C.

by Brady · 2024 NFL Draft · 12 picks · 1 steals · 2 reaches
Value B-
Need B
Trades F
Future B-

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Eyabi Okie-Anoma at No. 243, a reach of 42 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

On value alone, Dixon makes the weekend a net positive. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Khalil Mack gives the group a proven body among the projects.

If Brian Thomas Jr. and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.27 · Pick 27 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 26
In slot 27 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Bo Nix · QB · rank 30
Bo Nix at the 35th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 37
Jordan Morgan in the 37th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Roman Wilson · WR · rank 44
Roman Wilson at pick No. 40 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 68
They took Patrick Paul at par in pick 68, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Xavier Legette · WR · rank 73
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Legette at No. 71, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 92
Bucky Irving at pick No. 90 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 98
A clean, defensible pick in Round 4, Pick 3 with a little surplus value in Brenden Rice. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.18 · Pick 193 · Justin Rogers · DL · rank 193
No drama and no debate, Justin Rogers went about where he belonged in slot 193. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.6 · Pick 226 · Johnny Dixon · CB · rank 190
Steal is underselling it; Johnny Dixon at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R7.11 · Pick 231 · C.J. Hanson · OG · rank 263
C.J. Hanson in No. 231 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Eyabi Okie-Anoma · DL-EDGE · rank 285
Eyabi Okie-Anoma at pick 243 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
