Jon-Luke B DRAFTING FOR THEPatriots
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall
B-
ValueC
NeedB
TradesB-
FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Patriots, and a B- to prove it. The Patriots put a flag in the ground for Adam Randall, 64 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.
The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They banked enough surplus on Klare to cover a lot of smaller sins.
The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Chris Brazzell II
In No. 31 they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63
Rnd2
Keyron Crawford
This one needs a full-page explanation: Keyron Crawford in the Round 2 slot, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick95
Rnd3
Max Klare
Max Klare at slot 95 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick125
Rnd4
Isaiah World
They talked themselves into Isaiah World at the 125th pick, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick131
Rnd4
Jakobe Thomas
They went early on Jakobe Thomas in the 131st overall pick, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick171
Rnd5
Ar'maj Reed-Adams
They paid sticker price for Ar'maj Reed-Adams in pick No. 171, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick191
Rnd6
Ephesians Prysock
Fair-plus on Ephesians Prysock, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick198
Rnd6
Jimmy Rolder
A real head-scratcher, Jimmy Rolder in No. 198 is miles ahead of his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick202
Rnd6
Aiden Fisher
Aiden Fisher at Round 6, Pick 21 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick212
Rnd6
Adam Randall
Value said wait; Adam Randall in slot 212 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick247
Rnd7
Haynes King
A big swing on Haynes King at the 247th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
