Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureA
The phones sank the Patriots this weekend: C.

Some picks age like wine; Ben Sinnott at pick 101 will need to, sitting 42 spots clear of his grade.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The Latham steal is the beam this whole class leans on. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 JC Latham
A quiet steal in No. 33: JC Latham for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Guyton at the 34th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick65 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Roman Wilson well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick68 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
A wild overpay on Spencer Rattler in slot 68, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick101 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ben Sinnott. It fills a real need, too.
Pick106 Rnd4 DJ James
DJ James in the 106th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick139 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at slot 139 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick182 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at pick No. 182 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The roster fit checks out.
Pick184 Rnd6 Eric Watts
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Eric Watts. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick224 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Blake Watson at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
