Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Patriots a B.

The Patriots bet big and early on Thor Griffith, 80 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The Rogers pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Adding Bernhard Raimann by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 14th overall pick they get a moveable chess piece at tight end at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Omarion Hampton at No. 38. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
The board had Jayden Higgins higher than Round 3, Pick 5, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick77 Rnd3 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at pick 77 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zy Alexander. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick144 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
They did well to land LeQuint Allen in slot 144, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt in No. 171 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick220 Rnd7 Caleb Rogers
Value with a capital V on Caleb Rogers in the Round 7 slot, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Thor Griffith well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
