Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesD+ FutureB+
Good, not great, for the Patriots: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Tyreak Sapp at pick No. 138, a reach of 126 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The Skattebo value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Adding Brian Burns by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In pick 4 they get a potential shutdown corner. More want than need.
Pick35 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at No. 35 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick36 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in the 36th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in pick No. 66 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
This one needs a full-page explanation: Hollin Pierce in Round 3, Pick 3, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick138 Rnd5 Tyreak Sapp
A wild overpay on Tyreak Sapp in slot 138, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick219 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick220 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Thor Griffith this early at slot 220. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
