Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureC+
The Patriots lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Patriots reached some 130 spots for Oluwafemi Oladejo, and value like that does not grow back. Put together, it is a D-.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Neal.

On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick 4 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Josh Simmons
Circle this one: Josh Simmons at slot 38 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at No. 69 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick70 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at the 70th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jack Bech
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jack Bech in pick No. 72. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jayden Higgins at Round 3, Pick 13 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at the 88th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jackson Slater
They reached into another round for Jackson Slater, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Devin Neal
Steal is underselling it; Devin Neal at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick107 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Oluwafemi Oladejo. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick126 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Value said wait; Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 126th overall pick says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick136 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at pick 136 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Mello Dotson at Round 5, Pick 6. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick217 Rnd7 Nick Martin
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nick Martin this early at No. 217. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick220 Rnd7 Kain Medrano
Kain Medrano at pick 220 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick238 Rnd7 Brady Cook
Brady Cook in Round 7, Pick 22 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
