Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureA
The Patriots robbed the room for Singleton. Final grade: C+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Nicholas Singleton got past him. The Patriots do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 125. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The Lucas pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick63 Rnd2 Anthony Lucas
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Anthony Lucas well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jalon Kilgore
The board had cheaper options than Jalon Kilgore at No. 95, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
The board fumbled Nicholas Singleton all the way to slot 125, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick131 Rnd4 Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor at Round 4, Pick 31 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. in pick No. 169 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick189 Rnd6 Antonio Kite
Antonio Kite in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick200 Rnd6 Desmond Reid
They paid sticker price for Desmond Reid in pick 200, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick207 Rnd6 Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings at the 207th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick210 Rnd6 Peyton Bowen
No drama and no debate, Peyton Bowen went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick247 Rnd7 Luke Hasz
Good price on Luke Hasz in the 247th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
