Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Patriots: B-.

The Patriots put a flag in the ground for PJ Williams, 38 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Wheatley.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In pick No. 31 they get a three-down second-level presence at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick63 Rnd2 Malachi Fields
They paid up for Malachi Fields at the 63rd overall pick when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick95 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley at Round 3, Pick 31 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick125 Rnd4 Beau Stephens
They paid a round early for Beau Stephens in slot 125, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick131 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
A tidy little value on Eli Raridon in the Round 4 slot, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
Pick177 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
A straight-up fair deal on Oscar Delp at the 177th pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick189 Rnd6 DJ Harvey
DJ Harvey in No. 189 is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick200 Rnd6 PJ Williams
They left a pile of value on the table to take PJ Williams this early at slot 200. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick207 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
They took Bryce Foster at par in Round 6, Pick 28, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick210 Rnd6 De'Zhaun Stribling
De'Zhaun Stribling at pick No. 210 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick215 Rnd6 Gunner Stockton
They paid sticker price for Gunner Stockton in pick 215, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
Jordan Hall at the Round 7 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
