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

The Patriots clearly saw something nobody else did in Kyle Louis, taking him 56 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

The Prysock steal is the beam this whole class leans on. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a red-zone target to build around, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Dani Dennis-Sutton
Dani Dennis-Sutton at pick No. 63 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Kyle Louis
A real head-scratcher, Kyle Louis in slot 95 is miles ahead of his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick125 Rnd4 Bud Clark
They paid sticker price for Bud Clark in No. 125, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick131 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance slid further than he should have, and the 131st overall pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kaleb Proctor
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kaleb Proctor. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick189 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
Nice patience on DJ Campbell, who had no business lasting to pick 189. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick200 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 200, where Ephesians Prysock graded well above the range. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick207 Rnd6 Charles Demmings
A big swing on Charles Demmings at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick210 Rnd6 Kaden Wetjen
Kaden Wetjen at Round 6, Pick 31 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings in No. 247 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
