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

The real work happened on the phones. The Patriots fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The Hunter steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They will need Simpkins III to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In slot 9 they get a blindside protector, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick45 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
A conviction pick on Bradyn Swinson at the 45th overall pick that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick69 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darien Porter. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick71 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in the Round 3 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dylan Fairchild. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
They paid sticker price for Smael Mondon Jr. in pick 106, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jah Joyner
Jah Joyner in the 144th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
Somehow Jarquez Hunter was still sitting there in No. 217, and they pounced on premier running back value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick220 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson at slot 220 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick238 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
They left a pile of value on the table to take Torricelli Simpkins III this early at No. 238. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
