Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA
The Patriots bled value on every deal, hence the C+.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Rasheen Ali, 31 picks early at the 175th overall pick. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They banked enough surplus on Simpson to cover a lot of smaller sins.

So much rides on Jordan Morgan that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in No. 25 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick34 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A reach on Xavier Worthy in the 34th overall pick; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick52 Rnd2 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker in pick 52 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
No drama and no debate, Edgerrin Cooper went about where he belonged in slot 59. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick68 Rnd3 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders in the Round 3 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick92 Rnd3 Michael Pratt
Michael Pratt in the 92nd pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick103 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
They read the board right and Mike Sainristil was the payoff at the 103rd pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick139 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
Nothing to complain about; Cole Bishop went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at the Round 5 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick175 Rnd5 Rasheen Ali
They left a pile of value on the table to take Rasheen Ali this early at Round 5, Pick 39. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick182 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
They paid a round early for Isaiah Davis in pick 182, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
Pick224 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at slot 224 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
