Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots robbed the room for Lance. Final grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Bryce Lance slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at No. 169. Highway robbery. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Payton has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 KC Concepcion
In the 31st pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Caleb Tiernan
A quiet steal in pick 63: Caleb Tiernan for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick95 Rnd3 Chase Bisontis
They barely believed it either: Chase Bisontis still on the board at No. 95. The roster fit checks out.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore in slot 125 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick131 Rnd4 Joe Royer
The board had Joe Royer higher than the 131st overall pick, and the tight end fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick169 Rnd5 Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance at Round 5, Pick 31 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick189 Rnd6 Justin Jefferson
Justin Jefferson in the Round 6 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick200 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton in pick No. 200 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell at No. 207 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jaydn Ott
Jaydn Ott in the 210th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jalon Daniels at pick 247 is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
