Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Patriots treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 238th overall pick on Collin Oliver a full 56 spots early. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Landing Starks that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick 4 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
The board had Malaki Starks higher than pick No. 38, and the safety fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
No edge and no loss on Quinshon Judkins in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick77 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at Round 3, Pick 13 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick106 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Good price on Tai Felton in No. 106, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick144 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
They paid sticker price for Kurtis Rourke in slot 144, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool in pick No. 171 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220 Rnd7 Zeek Biggers
Zeek Biggers at Round 7, Pick 4 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
A wild overpay on Collin Oliver in slot 238, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
