Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall
A
ValueB
NeedB+
TradesA+
FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Patriots this weekend: A. The Patriots bet big and early on Barryn Sorrell, 93 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Higgins. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
They will answer for taking cornerback early while quarterback and tight end went begging.
Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tetairoa McMillan in pick 15. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick38
Rnd2
Cameron Williams
By-the-book stuff, Cameron Williams at slot 38 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick69
Rnd3
Trey Amos
You do not let a cornerback like Trey Amos reach No. 69 and blink. They did not. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick95
Rnd3
Zy Alexander
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Zy Alexander adds a cornerback and leaves quarterback and tight end untouched.
Pick105
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at Round 4, Pick 4 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick132
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
They will replay Kevin Winston Jr. at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick140
Rnd5
Jordan Phillips
They barely believed it either: Jordan Phillips still on the board at the Round 5 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick145
Rnd5
Ahmed Hassanein
A big swing on Ahmed Hassanein at the 145th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick219
Rnd7
Barryn Sorrell
A wild overpay on Barryn Sorrell in pick 219, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick222
Rnd7
Woody Marks
Circle this one: Woody Marks at Round 7, Pick 4 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick234
Rnd7
Jay Higgins
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 234 is the definition of value, full stop. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
