Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Patriots shredded theirs for Marvin Jones Jr.. He came off 137 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Golday pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Emmanuel Pregnon
In the 31st pick they get a cornerstone up front at fair value.
Pick63 Rnd2 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers in the 63rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jake Golday
They will replay Jake Golday at No. 95 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick125 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance is a better player than the Round 4 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick131 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover at Round 4, Pick 31 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick169 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson in pick No. 169 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick189 Rnd6 Matt Gulbin
Matt Gulbin at pick 189 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick200 Rnd6 Marvin Jones Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Marvin Jones Jr.. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick207 Rnd6 Bud Clark
By-the-book stuff, Bud Clark at the 207th pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick210 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick247 Rnd7 Korey Foreman
Korey Foreman at pick No. 247 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
