Draft Grade — Patriots

Grand theft in Round 4, Pick 25: the Patriots steal Golday and grade out a B.

The board owed the Patriots one, and it paid up: Jake Golday, the No. 63 name on the board, sitting there at pick 125 like a gift left on the doorstep.

A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want. The Rolder pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the safety spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Emmanuel Pregnon
In pick 31 they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Joshua Josephs
Joshua Josephs in Round 2, Pick 31 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick95 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
A tight end of that caliber at No. 95 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jake Golday
You do not let an edge rusher like Jake Golday reach pick No. 125 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
They will replay Jalon Kilgore at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick171 Rnd5 Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover at the 171st pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick191 Rnd6 Tim Keenan III
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Tim Keenan III in slot 191, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick198 Rnd6 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Kevin Coleman Jr. at the 198th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jeff Caldwell at pick 202. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jimmy Rolder
A big swing on Jimmy Rolder at pick No. 212, well ahead of any board in the building. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick247 Rnd7 Andre Fuller
Andre Fuller in slot 247 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
