Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Love: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jeremiyah Love at the 94th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The interior defensive lineman 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.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In the 30th pick they get a bendy edge with upside at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Caleb Downs
A safety of that caliber at Round 2, Pick 30 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jeremiyah Love
The board fumbled Jeremiyah Love all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick125 Rnd4 Carter Smith
They will replay Carter Smith at No. 125 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick130 Rnd4 Will Lee III
They barely believed it either: Will Lee III still on the board at the 130th overall pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick168 Rnd5 Charles Jagusah
Charles Jagusah at slot 168 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick191 Rnd6 Bray Hubbard
Bray Hubbard at pick 191 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick202 Rnd6 Niki Prongos
Circle this one: Niki Prongos at pick No. 202 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick208 Rnd6 Duce Robinson
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Duce Robinson in the 208th overall pick, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Bryce Boettcher
Taking Bryce Boettcher in pick No. 211 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick246 Rnd7 Malik Hartford
Malik Hartford at No. 246 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
