Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall

FutureC
The Patriots bled value on every deal, hence the D. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Patriots spent the 132nd overall pick on A'Marion Peterson, a name the board had a full 130 spots lower.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Johnson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick37
Rnd2
Makai Lemon
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 37 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick96
Rnd3
Zion Young
Fair-plus on Zion Young, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick126
Rnd4
Jaydn Ott
They reached into another round for Jaydn Ott, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick132
Rnd4
A'Marion Peterson
A real head-scratcher, A'Marion Peterson in Round 4, Pick 32 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick172
Rnd5
Tao Johnson
The board fumbled Tao Johnson all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick194
Rnd6
Smith Snowden
They reached a country mile for Smith Snowden at pick 194, and the board is aghast. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick195
Rnd6
Trey Moore
A conviction pick on Trey Moore at the 195th pick that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick201
Rnd6
Ahmaad Moses
A big swing on Ahmaad Moses at the 201st overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick212
Rnd6
Pat Coogan
A wild overpay on Pat Coogan in Round 6, Pick 32, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick217
Rnd7
Tree Babalade
Tree Babalade at pick No. 217 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
