Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Patriots.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Patriots reached some 31 spots for PJ Williams, and value like that does not grow back. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. Landing Robertson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
A quiet steal in the 31st overall pick: Sonny Styles for less than the market said. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jake Golday
Jake Golday in pick 63 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
They let Omar Cooper Jr. come to them and pounced at pick No. 95. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
They paid sticker price for Eli Raridon in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick131 Rnd4 Beau Stephens
Beau Stephens at slot 131 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick169 Rnd5 Earnest Greene III
No edge and no loss on Earnest Greene III in the 169th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick189 Rnd6 Josh Moten
Josh Moten at pick No. 189 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick200 Rnd6 Sawyer Robertson
Sawyer Robertson in the 200th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
Pick207 Rnd6 PJ Williams
This one needs a full-page explanation: PJ Williams in the 207th overall pick, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick210 Rnd6 De'Zhaun Stribling
De'Zhaun Stribling at Round 6, Pick 31 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick220 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
A reach on Riley Mahlman in slot 220; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick228 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
No drama and no debate, J. Michael Sturdivant went about where he belonged in pick 228. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at No. 247 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
