Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
The Patriots bled value on every deal, hence the D.

The Patriots torched the value chart for Oluwafemi Oladejo, taking him 103 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Smith.

On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a sticky cover corner. More want than need.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at No. 38 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick39 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks is a better player than the 39th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
No drama and no debate, Jonah Savaiinaea went about where he belonged in pick No. 45. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jack Bech
They went early on Jack Bech in pick 51, and the value did not follow. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at slot 69 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick72 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in No. 72 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Value with a capital V on Jalen Royals in the 77th overall pick, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Nice patience on Charles Grant, who had no business lasting to Round 4, Pick 4. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Connor Colby
They reached a country mile for Connor Colby at the 122nd pick, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick129 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
You do not let a running back like Brashard Smith reach pick 129 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick136 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo in slot 136 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick144 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dont'e Thornton Jr.. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick176 Rnd5 Hayden Conner
A wild overpay on Hayden Conner in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick200 Rnd6 Nick Martin
Value said wait; Nick Martin in slot 200 says they were not listening. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick216 Rnd6 Kain Medrano
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kain Medrano in the Round 6 slot, miles early. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick217 Rnd7 Brady Cook
Brady Cook in pick 217 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220 Rnd7 Moliki Matavao
Moliki Matavao at the 220th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
They took Jabbar Muhammad at par in No. 232, which is nothing to complain about. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick238 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
Marcus Yarns at Round 7, Pick 22 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick254 Rnd7 Francisco Mauigoa
They talked themselves into Francisco Mauigoa at the 254th overall pick, and the board did not agree. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
