Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C
ValueD- NeedB TradesC+ FutureD+
The Patriots did enough to get by: C.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Patriots shredded theirs for Dante Dowdell. He came off 218 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C.

Lee III falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Gennings Dunker
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 DJ McKinney
This one needs a full-page explanation: DJ McKinney in No. 54, miles early. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick60 Rnd2 Dante Dowdell
Dante Dowdell in Round 2, Pick 28 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick91 Rnd3 Da'Shawn Womack
They reached into another round for Da'Shawn Womack, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tanner Koziol
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tanner Koziol well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 Duce Robinson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Duce Robinson this early at the 126th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick180 Rnd5 Malachi Fields
You do not let a wide receiver like Malachi Fields reach No. 180 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick208 Rnd6 Will Lee III
Will Lee III at the 208th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick221 Rnd7 Kevin Jennings
No edge and no loss on Kevin Jennings in the 221st pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
