Draft Grade — Patriots

FutureC+
More right than wrong for the Patriots, and a B to prove it. Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Patriots spent Round 7, Pick 9 on Drew Kendall, a name most had 68 spots down the list. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Patriots clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Luther Burden III
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
They reached a country mile for Donovan Jackson at slot 38, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick56
Rnd2
Ozzy Trapilo
They talked themselves into Ozzy Trapilo at pick 56, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick77
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
They did well to land Tate Ratledge in No. 77, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick84
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at the 84th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick139
Rnd5
Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in Round 5, Pick 1 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149
Rnd5
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A reach for Antwaun Powell-Ryland in Round 5, Pick 11; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174
Rnd5
DJ Giddens
A reasonable price with a little left over, DJ Giddens in slot 174. The roster fit checks out.
Pick192
Rnd6
CJ West
Good price on CJ West in No. 192, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick217
Rnd7
Caleb Ransaw
A slide stopped in the Round 7 slot, with Caleb Ransaw worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick222
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
A reach on Isaac TeSlaa in the 222nd overall pick; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick223
Rnd7
Davin Vann
A real head-scratcher, Davin Vann in pick No. 223 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick225
Rnd7
Drew Kendall
Value said wait; Drew Kendall in pick 225 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238
Rnd7
Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis in the 238th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
