Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Patriots a B-.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named edge rusher, a need the Patriots walked right past. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They will need Bell to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Chris Bell
In slot 31 they get a go-to option on the outside, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Blake Miller
Blake Miller at the 63rd overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick95 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Zakee Wheatley at Round 3, Pick 31 is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick125 Rnd4 Joe Royer
Joe Royer is a better player than pick 125 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick131 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
Nice patience on Davison Igbinosun, who had no business lasting to No. 131. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick169 Rnd5 Cyrus Allen
Cyrus Allen slid further than he should have, and the 169th pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick189 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick200 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
A straight-up fair deal on Le'Veon Moss at pick No. 200, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jeremiah Wright
Jeremiah Wright in No. 207 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick210 Rnd6 Keyshaun Elliott
Keyshaun Elliott at slot 210 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick247 Rnd7 Fa'alili Fa'amoe
No drama and no debate, Fa'alili Fa'amoe went about where he belonged in pick 247. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
