Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots turned the phones into found money: B.

The Patriots treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending Round 7, Pick 1 on Thomas Fidone II a full 32 spots early. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

That Porter pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Mike McGlinchey gives the group a proven body among the projects.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the 20th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They took Tyler Booker at par in No. 38, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in Round 3, Pick 5 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick77 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick85 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Nice patience on Darien Porter, who had no business lasting to slot 85. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick106 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They did well to land Cam Skattebo in pick 106, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick217 Rnd7 Thomas Fidone II
Value said wait; Thomas Fidone II in slot 217 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220 Rnd7 Robert Longerbeam
Robert Longerbeam at Round 7, Pick 4 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick238 Rnd7 Shemar James
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Shemar James. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
