Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Trotter: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Josiah Trotter tumbling to the Patriots in pick No. 95 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Sturdivant reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Emmanuel Pregnon
In the 31st pick they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jake Golday
Jake Golday in pick 63 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick95 Rnd3 Josiah Trotter
Josiah Trotter at No. 95 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick125 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
Eli Raridon in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
A tidy little value on Keylan Rutledge in the 131st overall pick, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick169 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
They liked Oscar Delp enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 5, Pick 31. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick189 Rnd6 Cole Payton
A reach on Cole Payton in pick No. 189; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick200 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
A reach for Bryce Foster in slot 200; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick207 Rnd6 De'Zhaun Stribling
De'Zhaun Stribling at slot 207 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick210 Rnd6 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant at the Round 6 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
A conviction pick on Jordan Hall at pick 247 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
