Ok…go on record with your draft grade.

[Pape]

A+, knocked it out of the park.

Got our RT, our C, a steal on a day 3 DB... and tacked on a QB...

Sign me up for the '26 bandwagon

F. Patriots do not care about putting on a show and fielding an exciting product.
They have zero creativity and will never take risks and shoot for the homerun.
All 3 other teams in the division had better and more interesting drafts than pats.
Bottom third of the league team next year and boring while doing it.

Great argument for you to bow out for good and let Patriots fans be.

You’re a clown

I maintain we really missed those two 4th round picks. We could have added some good talent there.

I agree. Might have had to move up for Lomu, but I am not convinced we needed to lose a 4th to move up for Jacas.

Thanks Sam, I feel better already.

If Sam says it's bad it must be Good.

Hard to ask for more from the position we were in. We addressed several needs. Rounds 1-3 we got fantastic value. Rd 5 and 6 value was honestly somewhat fair if you just flip the crownover and prunty picks. Rd 7 are fliers

My biggest disappointment in round 7 was drafting a QB with limited upside.

At least take a gamble on gr8ness, but what do I know?

I didn’t like the Brady pick at the time. Maybe we just drafted the next GOAT.


But I doubt it.

I honestly don't know enough about the Day 3 picks to gauge the entire draft but I really liked the top 3 picks. I wanted them to be aggressive and they didn't wait around hoping their guys would be there, they went and got Lomu and Jacas, addressing two significant needs. Then they took a shot on Raridon, who has huge upside. So I give the first 2 Days an A.

 

[stcjones]

Looks like all picks today were made by wolf…..Vrabel wasn’t involved at all which is a bit concerning especially considering some of the head scratching picks made today…

Eliot Wolf: Patriots, Mike Vrabel had no contact during NFL Draft Day 3

“We were not in contact with Mike today…”

Should have taken Ur Bernard

I am just making a post in this thread so I don't get fined.
Seriously .... I liked a few of their picks ... will definitely be interesting.
some young blood in there to free up a few dollars here and there.
I am somewhere around a 'B'

If one of those drafted or UDFA lineman can replace Onwenu that’s like $20MM

I was happy with first two I think TE was a bit of a reach especially with his significant past injury history ….Pats have rarely gone with Best Player available even in areas of need. They have players in mind that fit the system…so even though a lot of us are saying WTF? Why did they pass on ______? They obviously have a plan…..Every team does it differently and a lot of them have been very successful year after year…

 

[stinkypete]

A+ work the first two rounds, using limited resources in a weak pool to get likely eventual starters at two premium positions. Other teams had splashier, and possibly more impactful, classes, but they had way more capital to spend. No other team did more with less.

Rest of the draft gets a B. Rairdon is good enough to slot into Henry's position and might be an upgrade if he stays healthy and develops. Crownover has the traits to chase Hudson off the roster if he takes to the coaching. The other guys - there was not much left to choose from.

 

[Ring 6]

I’m convinced he is simply a troll. He knows how stupid everything he posts is and posts because of it.
He welched on a bet solely because he is addicted to being the dumbest guy in the room and watching the response.

I wasn’t a fan of this qb selection either… that one is a pure ‘in this fo i trust’ mindset where im hoping theyre just seeing something we’re not. Either way at that point in the draft whatever they do is not enough to alter how i feel towards the bulk of what they did. Its a fair critique though

At this point, you saying they’re going to be awful and are doing everything wrong is actually turning out to be an indicator that they’re going to do great and are doing the right things.

 

[Ross12]

1: Lomu - A
2: Jacas - B
3: Raridon - A
5: Prunty: B
6: Crownover: B
6: Obiazor: D
7: Morton: C
7: Miller: A
7: Hutchins: B

Home run early, still solid early on day 3, it got a little iffy for me in the late 6th/early 7th but they finished fairly strong. I gave them a B overall.

 

[stelfans]

B
Just because day 3 was odd, very underwhelming. They really missed those 4th rounders, there was some talent to be had there.

You are truly a number one draft idiot. Well done!

 

[Husse]

I'll suppose I'll give them a C+.

They did well in day 1-2 and it seems they got who they wanted, but giving away both 4th rounders still hurt a bit.

The general lack of interest they showed day 3 just can't make me excited about any of the those picks. Crownover seems like good value but that's about it.

Hard to compare day 3 this year to last year when they picked Woodson, Farmer, Swinson, and Borregales. I don't care if this class was perceived as bad, there was still talent there.

Overall, I was much more excited about the 2025 class than the 2026 one.
