Jaybeast17 DRAFTING FOR THEPatriots
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall

FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Patriots, and a C- to match. Some picks age like wine; Jambres Dubar at slot 94 will need to, sitting 403 spots clear of his grade.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Concepcion. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
So much rides on Eugene Wilson III that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Eugene Wilson III
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a weapon on the perimeter, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62
Rnd2
Isaac Smith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Isaac Smith. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94
Rnd3
Jambres Dubar
Jambres Dubar at slot 94 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick124
Rnd4
Kalil Alexander
Value said wait; Kalil Alexander in the 124th pick says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick130
Rnd4
James Smith
James Smith at the 130th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick170
Rnd5
Evan Stewart
A big swing on Evan Stewart at pick 170, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick192
Rnd6
Tree Babalade
The board had cheaper options than Tree Babalade at pick 192, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick199
Rnd6
Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings at slot 199 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick207
Rnd6
Keith Abney II
Steal is underselling it; Keith Abney II at pick No. 207 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick210
Rnd6
KC Concepcion
They barely believed it either: KC Concepcion still on the board at the Round 6 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick245
Rnd7
Jelani Thurman
They talked themselves into Jelani Thurman at Round 7, Pick 30, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
