Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots worked the phones like thieves and earned a A.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Patriots would have aced it. Barryn Sorrell at the Round 7 slot is 96 spots clear of where he belonged.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. That is a tight end worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 24th overall pick they get a true top target at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Somehow Tyler Warren was still sitting there in the 38th pick, and they pounced on premier tight end value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick69 Rnd3 Marcus Mbow
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Marcus Mbow at No. 69. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick94 Rnd3 Sai'vion Jones
They left a pile of value on the table to take Sai'vion Jones this early at Round 3, Pick 30. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick105 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Malachi Moore. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick145 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ollie Gordon II. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick217 Rnd6 Zeek Biggers
A reach on Zeek Biggers in the 217th overall pick; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick219 Rnd7 Barryn Sorrell
They reached a country mile for Barryn Sorrell at pick 219, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick222 Rnd7 Ricky White III
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Ricky White III in slot 222, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick240 Rnd7 Gino Garcia
Gino Garcia at pick No. 240 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
