Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Patriots.

The Patriots did not so much draft Joe Fagnano as overpay for him, 65 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Cameron. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In pick No. 31 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez is a better player than No. 63 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick95 Rnd3 Sam Roush
They took Sam Roush at par in the 95th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick125 Rnd4 Max Llewellyn
A wild overpay on Max Llewellyn in pick 125, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
No edge and no loss on Eli Raridon in the 131st pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
Kaleb Elarms-Orr at Round 5, Pick 31 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick191 Rnd6 Dalton Johnson
Dalton Johnson in No. 191 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jeremiah Wright
Jeremiah Wright at pick 198 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick202 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
Nice patience on Ephesians Prysock, who had no business lasting to slot 202. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick212 Rnd6 Josh Cameron
The board fumbled Josh Cameron all the way to Round 6, Pick 31, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Joe Fagnano
They talked themselves into Joe Fagnano at the 247th pick, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
