Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Patriots a B.

The Patriots bet big and early on Brandon Adams, 37 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Bowman Jr.. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a bell-cow for the offense. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
They paid up for Aireontae Ersery at slot 38 when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69 Rnd3 Xavier Restrepo
Nothing to complain about; Xavier Restrepo went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
The board fumbled Jalen Royals all the way to pick No. 81, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick106 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson at No. 106 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo in the 119th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick144 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Billy Bowman Jr. in Round 5, Pick 6, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick217 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
They robbed the room for Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick220 Rnd7 Brandon Adams
They talked themselves into Brandon Adams at the 220th pick, and the board did not agree. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick238 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton in pick 238 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
