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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Mark Fletcher Jr. at pick 170, a reach of 40 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Green pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Dani Dennis-Sutton
In the 30th overall pick they get a premier pass rusher, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman is a better player than slot 62 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick94 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
A tidy bit of business in the 94th pick, where Malachi Fields graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick124 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch at No. 124 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick130 Rnd4 Blake Miller
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Blake Miller. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick170 Rnd5 Mark Fletcher Jr.
They reached a country mile for Mark Fletcher Jr. at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick192 Rnd6 Josh Moten
Josh Moten at Round 6, Pick 12 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick199 Rnd6 Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp in No. 199 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick207 Rnd6 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick210 Rnd6 Raylen Wilson
They paid sticker price for Raylen Wilson in pick 210, and that is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick245 Rnd7 Alex Birchmeier
They talked themselves into Alex Birchmeier at slot 245, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
