Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC- FutureA
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Patriots: B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Patriots took Brady Cook at No. 217, roughly 66 spots before his name belonged.

McMillan falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In slot 14 they get an anchor for the offensive line, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tetairoa McMillan
They robbed the room for Tetairoa McMillan here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick45 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
No edge and no loss on Aireontae Ersery in pick 45; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick69 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at pick No. 69 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick77 Rnd3 Devin Neal
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Devin Neal. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick106 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
They let Zy Alexander come to them and pounced at No. 106. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick144 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They jumped the gun on Antwaun Powell-Ryland, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick217 Rnd7 Brady Cook
Value said wait; Brady Cook in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick220 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III at pick 220 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick238 Rnd7 Zeek Biggers
Zeek Biggers in the 238th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
