Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Allen: B.

The Patriots spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: CJ Allen, the No. 32 name on the board, in pick 63.

The Spears-Jennings reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In pick 31 they get a matchup problem out wide, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 CJ Allen
They barely believed it either: CJ Allen still on the board at the 63rd overall pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick95 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
The board fumbled Domonique Orange all the way to Round 3, Pick 31, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick125 Rnd4 Brian Parker II
They read the board right and Brian Parker II was the payoff at slot 125. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis at the 131st pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
Fair-plus on Tanner Koziol, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick191 Rnd6 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
Kaleb Elarms-Orr slid further than he should have, and pick No. 191 is lovely value for the linebacker. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick198 Rnd6 Landon Robinson
A real head-scratcher, Landon Robinson in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick202 Rnd6 Kaelon Black
They talked themselves into Kaelon Black at pick No. 202, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick212 Rnd6 Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings at slot 212 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick247 Rnd7 Kaden Wetjen
A slide stopped in the Round 7 slot, with Kaden Wetjen worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
