Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots won the night they stopped Stout from sliding. Grade: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Upton Stout at slot 240 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Armstrong pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 4 they get a centerpiece for the ground game at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
No drama and no debate, Tyler Booker went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 6. It fills a real need, too.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Good price on Jack Bech in the 69th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Carson Schwesinger. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick105 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Value with a capital V on Charles Grant in No. 105, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick145 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at pick No. 145 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick219 Rnd7 Andrew Armstrong
Andrew Armstrong at the 219th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick222 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at pick 222 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick240 Rnd7 Upton Stout
Upton Stout in pick 240 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
