Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Patriots a B-.

The Patriots clearly saw something nobody else did in Keyron Crawford, taking him 19 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Sadiq pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In the 31st pick they get a moveable chess piece at tight end at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter in pick No. 63 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at slot 95 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick125 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
A tidy little value on Keylan Rutledge in No. 125, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick131 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
A reach for Davison Igbinosun in Round 4, Pick 31; a little patience would have been rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick169 Rnd5 Bud Clark
They jumped the gun on Bud Clark, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Eric McAlister
They paid sticker price for Eric McAlister in the 171st pick, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick189 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
They paid a round early for Trey Zuhn III in Round 6, Pick 10, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
Pick210 Rnd6 Keyron Crawford
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Keyron Crawford. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Haynes King
Nice patience on Haynes King, who had no business lasting to No. 247. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
