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

The board owed the Patriots one, and it paid up: Kamari Ramsey, the No. 78 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 125 like a gift left on the doorstep. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Josephs reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Joshua Josephs
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a bendy edge with upside, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick69 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
A reach on Elijah Sarratt in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jake Golday
They barely believed it either: Jake Golday still on the board at the 95th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Darrell Jackson Jr.
No drama and no debate, Darrell Jackson Jr. went about where he belonged in the 106th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Kamari Ramsey
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Kamari Ramsey in pick 125, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jack Endries
Jack Endries is a better player than slot 131 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kage Casey
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kage Casey in pick No. 171. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick191 Rnd6 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson at No. 191 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
Good price on Jeff Caldwell in Round 6, Pick 17, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick202 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
They read the board right and Ephesians Prysock was the payoff at the 202nd overall pick. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick212 Rnd6 Cole Payton
Cole Payton at pick 212 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick247 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Eli Heidenreich. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
