Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots let Kiser fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jack Kiser had no business being available in the Round 7 slot, and the Patriots did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

Reaching for Yarns left real value on the table behind him. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Will Campbell
A straight-up fair deal on Will Campbell at pick No. 4, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick38 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland slipping to pick 38 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Circle this one: Tre Harris at the 69th pick is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick77 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
They took Maxwell Hairston at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick105 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
The board fumbled Donovan Jackson all the way to No. 105, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick145 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander slid further than he should have, and the 145th overall pick is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick219 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
A big swing on Marcus Yarns at Round 7, Pick 1, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick222 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at slot 222 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at the 240th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
