Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureA+
Good, not great, for the Patriots: B.

The Patriots bet big and early on Roderick Kearney, 35 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Germie Bernard
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a home-run threat at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Joshua Josephs
They liked Joshua Josephs enough to skip the value, taking him in the 44th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Roderick Kearney
Value said wait; Roderick Kearney in the 76th pick says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. at pick 112 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick151 Rnd5 Fernando Carmona
They reached into another round for Fernando Carmona, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick190 Rnd6 Anthony Evans III
A slide stopped in No. 190, with Anthony Evans III worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick218 Rnd7 Riley Williams
Riley Williams in No. 218 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick225 Rnd7 Micah Morris
Micah Morris in pick No. 225 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
