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

Thirty-one other rooms let Cade Stover slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at the Round 4 slot. Highway robbery. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They will need Rattler to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Joe Alt
By-the-book stuff, Joe Alt at No. 3 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick34 Rnd2 Rome Odunze
Taking Rome Odunze in the 34th pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick88 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
Spencer Rattler in pick No. 88 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick91 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick115 Rnd4 Cade Stover
They will replay Cade Stover at the 115th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick137 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A reach on Luke McCaffrey in pick 137; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at Round 6, Pick 5 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick193 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at slot 193 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick231 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
The board had Garret Greenfield higher than pick 231, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
