Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Patriots: B-.

Some picks age like wine; Gino Garcia at pick No. 238 will need to, sitting 63 spots clear of his grade. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Simmons at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick No. 4 they get a featured back. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Josh Simmons
Josh Simmons in the 38th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Tre Harris is a better player than No. 69 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick77 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in Round 3, Pick 13 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick106 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Tai Felton at pick 106 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick144 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel at the 144th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick217 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson slipping to the 217th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick220 Rnd7 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray in slot 220 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Gino Garcia
Gino Garcia in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
