Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesD- FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Warren: B-.

The Patriots lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Warren. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Every board in the league had Borregales lower, and that gap is the story.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
They took Josh Simmons at par in slot 14, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the 38th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick69 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
They jumped the gun on Ozzy Trapilo, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick77 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
The board had cheaper options than Cam Skattebo at pick 77, and it noticed. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick80 Rnd3 Deone Walker
No drama and no debate, Deone Walker went about where he belonged in the 80th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick106 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo at Round 4, Pick 4 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
They paid up for Andres Borregales at pick No. 144 when waiting would have done the job. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick171 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
They went early on Elijah Roberts in slot 171, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in the 189th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jay Toia
Jay Toia at the Round 7 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick238 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
Craig Woodson slipping to the 238th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
