Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Patriots: B-.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named edge rusher, a need the Patriots walked right past. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The cost of the Capehart reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The Styles steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the Round 1 slot they get the heartbeat of the defense, outstanding value to boot.
Pick63 Rnd2 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch in pick No. 63 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick95 Rnd3 Tacario Davis
By-the-book stuff, Tacario Davis at No. 95 squarely in line with his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick125 Rnd4 Billy Schrauth
A reach for Billy Schrauth in the 125th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick131 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
They paid a round early for DeMonte Capehart in pick 131, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
Fair-plus on Aamil Wagner, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
