Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 95 lands the Patriots a B, Tiernan and all.

The Patriots did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Caleb Tiernan fell into pick 95. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. If Robertson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In No. 31 they get a rangy last line of defense, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Peter Woods
Taking Peter Woods in pick No. 63 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick95 Rnd3 Caleb Tiernan
They barely believed it either: Caleb Tiernan still on the board at the Round 3 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick125 Rnd4 Sam Roush
Sam Roush in the 125th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick131 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance at the 131st overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick171 Rnd5 Nate Boerkircher
Nate Boerkircher slid further than he should have, and pick 171 is lovely value for the tight end. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick191 Rnd6 Beau Stephens
You do not let an offensive lineman like Beau Stephens reach Round 6, Pick 10 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick198 Rnd6 Sawyer Robertson
A reach for Sawyer Robertson in slot 198; a little patience would have been rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
The board had Jeff Caldwell higher than the Round 6 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick212 Rnd6 Bryce Boettcher
Bryce Boettcher in Round 6, Pick 31 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick247 Rnd7 Fa'alili Fa'amoe
A premium they did not need to pay, Fa'alili Fa'amoe a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
