Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Golden: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Patriots watched Matthew Golden slide 26 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 4th overall pick they get an every-down engine for the run game at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
Matthew Golden at Round 2, Pick 6 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. at slot 69 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick77 Rnd3 Wyatt Milum
A quiet steal in the 77th pick: Wyatt Milum for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick106 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
You do not let an offensive lineman like Ozzy Trapilo reach the Round 4 slot and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick144 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke in No. 144 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick171 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
They read the board right and Andres Borregales was the payoff at pick No. 171. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick220 Rnd7 Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. in pick 220 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
No drama and no debate, Jermari Harris went about where he belonged in pick 238. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
