Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Stowers: B.

Call it larceny. Eli Stowers sat on the board until the 95th overall pick, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Every board in the league had Caldwell lower, and that gap is the story.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 31 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, and a steal at that.
Pick69 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
A reach for Elijah Sarratt in Round 3, Pick 5; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106 Rnd4 Domonique Orange
Domonique Orange in slot 106 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jack Endries
Jack Endries at the 125th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
They will replay Jalon Kilgore at the 131st overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell at No. 171 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick191 Rnd6 Taylen Green
A straight-up fair deal on Taylen Green at pick 191, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick198 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
Nothing to complain about; Ephesians Prysock went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick202 Rnd6 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
Taking Kaleb Elarms-Orr in the 202nd overall pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick212 Rnd6 Cole Payton
Cole Payton in the 212th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
They took Eli Heidenreich at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
