Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Patriots: B-.

The Patriots bet big and early on Jack Pyburn, 70 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Corleone. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In pick 31 they get an island corner, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick63 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
A slide stopped in the Round 2 slot, with Emmanuel McNeil-Warren worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick95 Rnd3 Dontay Corleone
They will replay Dontay Corleone at No. 95 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick125 Rnd4 Joe Royer
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Joe Royer in Round 4, Pick 25. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick131 Rnd4 Quintayvious Hutchins
A real head-scratcher, Quintayvious Hutchins in slot 131 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick171 Rnd5 Chase Roberts
Value with a capital V on Chase Roberts in pick No. 171, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick191 Rnd6 Kobe Baynes
Kobe Baynes at the 191st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick202 Rnd6 Isaiah Jatta
Isaiah Jatta at No. 202 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick209 Rnd6 Harrison Wallace III
Taking Harrison Wallace III in pick 209 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jack Pyburn
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jack Pyburn. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jaren Kanak
Jaren Kanak at the 247th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
