Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Starks: B+.

Call it larceny. Malaki Starks sat on the board until No. 77, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

The Robinson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant slipping to slot 38 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
They paid sticker price for Cameron Williams in No. 69, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick77 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at the 77th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick106 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
No drama and no debate, Anthony Belton went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick144 Rnd5 Que Robinson
Que Robinson at the 144th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick217 Rnd7 CJ Dippre
A big swing on CJ Dippre at pick 217, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
They barely believed it either: Tahj Brooks still on the board at Round 7, Pick 4. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
They took Jabbar Muhammad at par in pick No. 238, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
