Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Patriots.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Keaten Wade; the Patriots did not wait, grabbing him 119 spots ahead at Round 7, Pick 36. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is McNeil-Warren.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. Their trades came out a wash either way.

If Blake Miller and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Blake Miller
The board had cheaper options than Blake Miller at No. 35, and it noticed. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick63 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at pick No. 63 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at the 66th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick101 Rnd4 Sam Roush
Sam Roush at slot 101 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick131 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover in the 131st overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick144 Rnd5 Charles Demmings
By-the-book stuff, Charles Demmings at pick 144 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick191 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
They reached into another round for Patrick Payton, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
A quiet steal in slot 198: Jeff Caldwell for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jack Kelly
Jack Kelly at the 247th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick251 Rnd7 Adam Randall
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Adam Randall. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick252 Rnd7 Keaten Wade
This one needs a full-page explanation: Keaten Wade in the 252nd overall pick, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
