Overall

FutureA+
The Patriots did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Patriots would have aced it. Bear Alexander at pick No. 195 is 57 spots clear of where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Fields.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick62
Rnd2
Connor Lew
Taking Connor Lew in the Round 2 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick109
Rnd4
Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields in the 109th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick118
Rnd4
Austin Romaine
They went early on Austin Romaine in the 118th pick, and the value did not follow. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick130
Rnd4
Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg at pick No. 130 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick170
Rnd5
Max Iheanachor
They let Max Iheanachor come to them and pounced at slot 170. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick195
Rnd6
Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander in Round 6, Pick 16 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick215
Rnd7
Lawson Luckie
They reached into another round for Lawson Luckie, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick244
Rnd7
Desmond Reid
Desmond Reid slid further than he should have, and slot 244 is lovely value for the running back. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
