Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall
B-
ValueB-
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Patriots. The Patriots' one glaring miss is edge rusher, a need they left exactly as they found it.
Reaching for Banks left real value on the table behind him. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Tiernan.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Caleb Banks
In the 31st overall pick they get a disruptive interior force, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63
Rnd2
Caleb Tiernan
Caleb Tiernan slid further than he should have, and the Round 2 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
Pick95
Rnd3
Sam Roush
Nothing to complain about; Sam Roush went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
