Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots robbed the room for Kilgore. Final grade: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jalon Kilgore, the No. 104 name on the board, stolen at Round 4, Pick 25.

That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If Young pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Zion Young
In pick 31 they get a premier pass rusher, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
Gennings Dunker is a better player than slot 63 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick95 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
Somehow Elijah Sarratt was still sitting there in the 95th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore at No. 125 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jack Endries
Jack Endries in pick No. 131 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kage Casey at Round 5, Pick 31 is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick191 Rnd6 Aamil Wagner
They let Aamil Wagner come to them and pounced at the Round 6 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell at the 198th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Taylen Green
A quiet steal in the 202nd pick: Taylen Green for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick212 Rnd6 Aaron Graves
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Aaron Graves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick247 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
Eli Heidenreich at the 247th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
