Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Patriots: B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Donovan Smith at pick No. 220, a reach of 50 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

The Hancock value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 4th pick they get a bendy edge with upside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea in the Round 2 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 69 with a little surplus value in Dylan Sampson. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick77 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at Round 3, Pick 13 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Phillips at slot 106, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick144 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
They paid a round early for Andres Borregales in the 144th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick217 Rnd7 Shemar James
Value said wait; Shemar James in pick 217 says they were not listening. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick220 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Donovan Smith well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
They barely believed it either: Jordan Hancock still on the board at Round 7, Pick 22. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
