Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB
The Patriots let Gadsden II fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Oronde Gadsden II, the No. 141 name on the board, stolen at the 240th overall pick.

They will need Oliver to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the safety spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 4th pick they get a bendy edge with upside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jahdae Barron
Taking Jahdae Barron in pick No. 38 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick69 Rnd3 Marcus Mbow
Somehow Marcus Mbow was still sitting there in pick 69, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick102 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
The board had Tez Johnson higher than the 102nd overall pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick105 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo is a better player than Round 4, Pick 4 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at No. 142 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick145 Rnd5 Ahmed Hassanein
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ahmed Hassanein in slot 145, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick219 Rnd7 Barryn Sorrell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Barryn Sorrell. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick222 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
Collin Oliver at pick No. 222 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick240 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at pick 240 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
