Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots let Allen fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

When a board-topper like CJ Allen slides to pick No. 95, you do not overthink it, and the Patriots did not. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 David Bailey
In pick 31 they get a premier pass rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Denzel Boston
Denzel Boston at the Round 2 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick95 Rnd3 CJ Allen
Taking CJ Allen in the 95th pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick125 Rnd4 De'Zhaun Stribling
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, De'Zhaun Stribling in No. 125, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg is a better player than Round 4, Pick 31 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Dametrious Crownover
They robbed the room for Dametrious Crownover here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick191 Rnd6 Travis Burke
Value with a capital V on Travis Burke in pick No. 191, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Cole Payton
They took Cole Payton at par in the 198th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick202 Rnd6 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner in pick No. 202 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick212 Rnd6 Aaron Graves
By-the-book stuff, Aaron Graves at Round 6, Pick 31 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick247 Rnd7 Latrell McCutchin Sr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Latrell McCutchin Sr. in pick 247. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
