Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Patriots, and a C+ to match.

The Patriots spent real capital to be 231 picks early on Collin Sadler, and the board is going to hold them to it. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

On value alone, Lopa makes the weekend a net positive. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 KJ Bolden
In the Round 1 slot they get a centerfielder for the defense. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick52 Rnd2 John Henry Daley
John Henry Daley in No. 52 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick85 Rnd3 Evan Tengesdahl
They jumped the gun on Evan Tengesdahl, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Joe Cotton
Joe Cotton in the 122nd overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick167 Rnd5 Alex January
Alex January in the 167th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick186 Rnd6 James Smith
Value said wait; James Smith in pick No. 186 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick187 Rnd6 Langston Hardy
Langston Hardy at No. 187 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jayce Brown
They talked themselves into Jayce Brown at pick No. 199, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick209 Rnd6 Collin Sadler
A big swing on Collin Sadler at Round 6, Pick 30, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jake Guarnera
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jake Guarnera well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick257 Rnd7 Kingston Lopa
Somehow Kingston Lopa was still sitting there in the 257th overall pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
