Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Patriots a A-.

There is reaching, and then there is Benjamin Yurosek at pick 223. The Patriots jumped the board by 42 and dared it to prove them wrong. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Ford at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

Bottom line, with Olumuyiwa Fashanu leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at slot 34 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in No. 40 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick66 Rnd3 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in the 66th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72 Rnd3 D.J. James
They paid sticker price for D.J. James in Round 3, Pick 8, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick111 Rnd4 Beau Brade
They took Beau Brade at par in pick No. 111, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick135 Rnd4 Ray Davis
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ray Davis. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jason Marshall Jr.
They jumped the gun on Jason Marshall Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick189 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson slid further than he should have, and No. 189 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick223 Rnd7 Benjamin Yurosek
A wild overpay on Benjamin Yurosek in Round 7, Pick 3, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
