Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Patriots: B-.

The war room fell hard for Monroe Freeling, and it showed at slot 94: 28 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In slot 30 they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Rod Moore
Rod Moore at the 62nd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Monroe Freeling
Monroe Freeling at pick No. 94 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick130 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson slid further than he should have, and pick 130 is lovely value for the cornerback. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick131 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Good price on Bryce Lance in No. 131, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick170 Rnd5 Connor Tollison
Connor Tollison in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick192 Rnd6 Earnest Greene III
By-the-book stuff, Earnest Greene III at slot 192 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick193 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
No edge and no loss on Le'Veon Moss in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick203 Rnd6 Lee Hunter
They took Lee Hunter at par in No. 203, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick209 Rnd6 Bud Clark
Bud Clark in Round 6, Pick 30 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick245 Rnd7 Brett Norfleet
A conviction pick on Brett Norfleet at pick 245 that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
