Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesD FutureB
The Patriots land in the muddy middle: C+.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named safety, a need the Patriots walked right past.

That is an edge rusher worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a red-zone target to build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
The board had Kenneth Grant higher than No. 38, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick49 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
They paid sticker price for Aireontae Ersery in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick69 Rnd3 Josaiah Stewart
Value with a capital V on Josaiah Stewart in the 69th overall pick, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick77 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at slot 77 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Tai Felton in pick 106 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick144 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at pick No. 144 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick217 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
They read the board right and Donovan Edwards was the payoff at the 217th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick220 Rnd7 Karene Reid
Karene Reid in the Round 7 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick238 Rnd7 Robert Longerbeam
A slide stopped in Round 7, Pick 22, with Robert Longerbeam worth more than the price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
