Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Corleone: B.

Somebody in the Round 4 slot was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Patriots sat still while Dontay Corleone, the No. 67 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They are betting Josephs proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Joshua Josephs
In the Round 1 slot they get juice off the edge, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Caleb Tiernan
Caleb Tiernan at the 63rd overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jake Golday
Jake Golday in the 112th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick125 Rnd4 Dontay Corleone
Somehow Dontay Corleone was still sitting there in pick 125, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick131 Rnd4 De'Zhaun Stribling
De'Zhaun Stribling in pick No. 131 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick152 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
They barely believed it either: Oscar Delp still on the board at No. 152. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick171 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner at Round 5, Pick 31 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick180 Rnd5 Febechi Nwaiwu
A reasonable price with a little left over, Febechi Nwaiwu in slot 180. The roster fit checks out.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
A slide stopped in the 198th pick, with Jeff Caldwell worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick199 Rnd6 Cole Payton
Nothing to complain about; Cole Payton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick202 Rnd6 Domani Jackson
Circle this one: Domani Jackson at pick No. 202 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick212 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
You do not let a cornerback like Ephesians Prysock reach the 212th overall pick and blink. They did not. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick226 Rnd7 Dallen Bentley
Steal is underselling it; Dallen Bentley at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick247 Rnd7 Aiden Fisher
The board fumbled Aiden Fisher all the way to slot 247, and they scooped it up. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
