Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureC+
The Patriots fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

The Patriots bet big and early on Zach Rice, 60 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

Thieneman falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dillon Thieneman at No. 44 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick112 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis at slot 112 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick151 Rnd5 Kyle Louis
Kyle Louis at the 151st pick is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick190 Rnd6 Brandon Inniss
A clean, defensible pick in the 190th overall pick with a little surplus value in Brandon Inniss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick218 Rnd7 Solomon Tuliaupupu
Solomon Tuliaupupu in pick No. 218 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Zach Rice
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zach Rice well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
