Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Patriots got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C+.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Patriots spent Round 5, Pick 6 on Elijah Roberts, a name most had 39 spots down the list.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In slot 17 they get a security blanket over the middle at fair value.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They took Tyler Booker at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick77 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in pick 77 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick81 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ozzy Trapilo. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106 Rnd4 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey in Round 4, Pick 4 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick144 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts at No. 144 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Upton Stout
They reached into another round for Upton Stout, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick220 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
Craig Woodson in Round 7, Pick 4 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
This one needs a full-page explanation: Teddye Buchanan in the Round 7 slot, miles early. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
