Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Patriots, and a B- to prove it.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Patriots shredded theirs for George Gumbs Jr.. He came off 66 spots early, and the room will hear about it. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the 31st overall pick they get the heartbeat of the defense at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick63 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. at pick 63 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick95 Rnd3 Mikail Kamara
Mikail Kamara in Round 3, Pick 31 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick125 Rnd4 Deion Burks
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Deion Burks at the 125th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick131 Rnd4 Justin Joly
Justin Joly at No. 131 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Kage Casey at slot 169 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick189 Rnd6 Marlin Klein
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Marlin Klein in pick 189. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick200 Rnd6 Eric O'Neill
A wild overpay on Eric O'Neill in the 200th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick207 Rnd6 George Gumbs Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, George Gumbs Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick210 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock in pick No. 210 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick247 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
A reach for Robert Spears-Jennings in the Round 7 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
