Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureA+
The Patriots did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B+.

The Patriots treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 238th overall pick on Drew Kendall a full 54 spots early.

The Warren value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

The Christian Kirk deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Aireontae Ersery
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get protection for the quarterback, a steep price for the projection.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the Round 2 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick58 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at pick No. 58 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick69 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson slipping to slot 69 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
A straight-up fair deal on Ozzy Trapilo at the 77th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick106 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
They will replay Andrew Mukuba at the 106th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick144 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kyle Williams. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171 Rnd5 Que Robinson
A wild overpay on Que Robinson in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jason Marshall Jr.
The board had Jason Marshall Jr. higher than the 220th overall pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick238 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
This one needs a full-page explanation: Drew Kendall in No. 238, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
