Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Stowers: B.

The Patriots spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Eli Stowers, the No. 53 name on the board, in the 95th overall pick. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In the 31st pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Max Iheanachor
Nice patience on Max Iheanachor, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 31. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick95 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers in pick 95 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick125 Rnd4 Skyler Bell
They robbed the room for Skyler Bell here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick131 Rnd4 De'Zhaun Stribling
Somehow De'Zhaun Stribling was still sitting there in the 131st overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171 Rnd5 Charles Demmings
Steal is underselling it; Charles Demmings at pick No. 171 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick191 Rnd6 Tim Keenan III
Tim Keenan III at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick198 Rnd6 Louis Moore
Louis Moore in slot 198 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at the 202nd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick212 Rnd6 Keagen Trost
The board fumbled Keagen Trost all the way to Round 6, Pick 31, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
A tidy bit of business in the 247th pick, where Eli Heidenreich graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
