Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC
The Patriots won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

The Patriots spent real capital to be 80 picks early on Korey Foreman, and the board is going to hold them to it. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

That Castell pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Peter Woods
In pick 12 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick28 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In the 28th overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Eli Stowers
They paid a round early for Eli Stowers in slot 44, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 Caleb Lomu
Value with a capital V on Caleb Lomu in Round 3, Pick 12, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jeremiah Wilson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jeremiah Wilson in the 112th pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick129 Rnd4 Austin Romaine
The board had Austin Romaine higher than pick No. 129, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick136 Rnd4 Rod Moore
Rod Moore at pick 136 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick190 Rnd6 Brandon Inniss
Brandon Inniss in the 190th pick is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick218 Rnd7 Korey Foreman
Korey Foreman at No. 218 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jordan Castell
Jordan Castell in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
