Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Gordon II: B.

The board owed the Patriots one, and it paid up: Ollie Gordon II, the No. 174 name on the board, sitting there at the 220th pick like a gift left on the doorstep. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They are betting Pierce proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In slot 23 they get a three-down second-level presence. More want than need.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in No. 38 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
A conviction pick on Jared Ivey at the 69th overall pick that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick77 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
The board had cheaper options than Dylan Fairchild at pick 87, and it noticed. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick106 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at pick No. 106 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jah Joyner
Jah Joyner in the 144th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick217 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Nice patience on Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, who had no business lasting to Round 7, Pick 1. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
The board fumbled Ollie Gordon II all the way to the 220th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Zeek Biggers
Zeek Biggers at the Round 7 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
