Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Bell should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Chris Bell, pick No. 95, roughly 53 picks past where he belonged.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. If Spears-Jennings pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
The board fumbled Arvell Reese all the way to pick 31, and they scooped it up. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick63 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks at Round 2, Pick 31 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick95 Rnd3 Chris Bell
Chris Bell at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick125 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg in No. 125 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Parker Brailsford at the 131st overall pick is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick169 Rnd5 Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III in pick No. 169 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick189 Rnd6 Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson at the 189th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick200 Rnd6 Robert Spears-Jennings
A reach on Robert Spears-Jennings in slot 200; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick207 Rnd6 Tristan Leigh
They took Tristan Leigh at par in the 207th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick210 Rnd6 J. Michael Sturdivant
A straight-up fair deal on J. Michael Sturdivant at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Hall at pick No. 247 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
