Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Patriots this weekend: C-.

There is reaching, and then there is Collin Oliver at the 238th overall pick. The Patriots jumped the board by 54 and dared it to prove them wrong. For now it grades a C-, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The Brooks pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

So much rides on Tyler Warren that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Warren at the 12th pick, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick38 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in pick 38 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
Jack Sawyer at Round 2, Pick 12 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick58 Rnd2 Ozzy Trapilo
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ozzy Trapilo. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
They did well to land Jalen Royals in pick No. 69, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick77 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Donovan Jackson at the Round 3 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Nothing to complain about; Jared Wilson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick144 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
They paid up for Andres Borregales at the 144th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
No drama and no debate, Kyle Williams went about where he belonged in the 166th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick204 Rnd6 Luke Elzinga
A premium they did not need to pay, Luke Elzinga a notch or two before his time. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick217 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Steal is underselling it; Tahj Brooks at pick 217 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jason Marshall Jr.
You do not let a cornerback like Jason Marshall Jr. reach slot 220 and blink. They did not. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick236 Rnd7 Davin Vann
They reached a country mile for Davin Vann at No. 236, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
This one needs a full-page explanation: Collin Oliver in the Round 7 slot, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
