Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The Patriots fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

Some picks age like wine; Drew Kendall at the Round 7 slot will need to, sitting 56 spots clear of his grade. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Gray at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

In the end it comes back to Matthew Golden, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
Matthew Golden in Round 1, Pick 14 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick38 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Fair-plus on Omarion Hampton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick45 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku at pick 45 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick69 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at pick No. 69 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick77 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A straight-up fair deal on Darien Porter at the 77th pick, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick106 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tai Felton at the Round 4 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick144 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
A clean, defensible pick in No. 144 with a little surplus value in Hollin Pierce. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
Value with a capital V on Caleb Ransaw in pick No. 217, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick220 Rnd7 Joshua Gray
A quiet steal in the Round 7 slot: Joshua Gray for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick232 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
A premium they did not need to pay, Cam Horsley a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
Drew Kendall at slot 238 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
