Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC+
The Patriots fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Dani Dennis-Sutton, 78 picks early at slot 62. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

That Kiser pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Mekhi Becton pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Dani Dennis-Sutton
Dani Dennis-Sutton in slot 62 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild slipping to No. 69 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Somehow Jihaad Campbell was still sitting there in the 77th pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick105 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at pick No. 105 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick143 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
A running back of that caliber at pick 143 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217 Rnd7 Nick Nash
A big swing on Nick Nash at slot 217, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
A real head-scratcher, Shilo Sanders in the 220th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at the 241st overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
