Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
Nobody dealt better than the Patriots this weekend: B+.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Patriots came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. Justin Fields gives the group a proven body among the projects.

They will need Rosemy-Jacksaint to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The Thomas Jr. steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the safety spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick 23 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value.
Pick34 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
A slide stopped in the 34th pick, with Brian Thomas Jr. worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick45 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at slot 45 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick59 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
A reasonable price with a little left over, Braden Fiske in the 59th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick74 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Nice patience on Mike Sainristil, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick86 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus at No. 86 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick104 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
They paid sticker price for DeWayne Carter in pick No. 104, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick110 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at Round 4, Pick 10 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick128 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at Round 5, Pick 31 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick182 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in the 182nd overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick229 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Frank Gore Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
