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

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Patriots took Derrick Moore at No. 126, roughly 24 spots before his name belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Singleton pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick56 Rnd2 Chris Bell
Chris Bell at slot 56 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87 Rnd3 Xavier Chaplin
Xavier Chaplin at pick 87 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick116 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton in the 116th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122 Rnd4 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
A slide stopped in the 122nd overall pick, with Emmanuel McNeil-Warren worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick126 Rnd4 Derrick Moore
Derrick Moore in No. 126 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick221 Rnd7 Drayk Bowen
Drayk Bowen slid further than he should have, and slot 221 is lovely value for the linebacker. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick236 Rnd7 Brett Norfleet
Brett Norfleet at the 236th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
