Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB- TradesD+ FutureA
The Patriots landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

The Patriots treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending Round 7, Pick 1 on MJ Sherman a full 207 spots early. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

If Will Campbell and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick 12 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They took Tyler Booker at par in pick No. 38, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
They paid sticker price for Tate Ratledge in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76 Rnd3 Fadil Diggs
They reached into another round for Fadil Diggs, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick77 Rnd3 Kaimon Rucker
Kaimon Rucker at the 77th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick105 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Mello Dotson. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick145 Rnd5 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith in No. 145 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Steven Parker
Steven Parker at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick219 Rnd7 MJ Sherman
MJ Sherman at the 219th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick222 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
This one needs a full-page explanation: Garrett Dellinger in pick 222, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick240 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at the 240th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
