Jaybeast17 DRAFTING FOR THEPatriots
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall
B-
ValueC
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Patriots kept it disciplined and banked a B-. Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Patriots spent slot 207 on Braylan Shelby, a name most had 37 spots down the list. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Raymond. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.
Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Yhonzae Pierre
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62
Rnd2
Faletau Satuala
Faletau Satuala in Round 2, Pick 30 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94
Rnd3
Solomon Tuliaupupu
The board fumbled Solomon Tuliaupupu all the way to the 94th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick125
Rnd4
Dylan Raiola
Dylan Raiola is a better player than slot 125 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick130
Rnd4
Antwan Raymond
They robbed the room for Antwan Raymond here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick168
Rnd5
Adepoju Adebawore
They talked themselves into Adepoju Adebawore at pick 168, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick189
Rnd6
C.J. Fite
No edge and no loss on C.J. Fite in pick No. 189; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick200
Rnd6
Jehiem Oatis
Jehiem Oatis at pick 200 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick207
Rnd6
Braylan Shelby
They left a pile of value on the table to take Braylan Shelby this early at No. 207. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick209
Rnd6
DeAndre Moore Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, DeAndre Moore Jr. in the 209th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick246
Rnd7
Rico Flores Jr.
Rico Flores Jr. at Round 7, Pick 30 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
