Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Patriots.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Princewill Umanmielen at the 201st pick, a reach of 44 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In pick 30 they get a true top target at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Michael Taaffe
A reasonable price with a little left over, Michael Taaffe in No. 62. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Xavier Chaplin
No edge and no loss on Xavier Chaplin in Round 3, Pick 30; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick129 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
Good price on Parker Brailsford in slot 129, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick130 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg in pick No. 130 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick169 Rnd5 Darius Taylor
Darius Taylor at the 169th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick191 Rnd6 Josh Moten
Josh Moten at the 191st pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick201 Rnd6 Princewill Umanmielen
A big swing on Princewill Umanmielen at Round 6, Pick 20, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick206 Rnd6 Drayk Bowen
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Drayk Bowen. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick211 Rnd6 Trebor Pena
They did well to land Trebor Pena in the 211th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick246 Rnd7 Fernando Carmona
Fernando Carmona at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
