Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Some picks age like wine; Kenyatta Jackson Jr. at the Round 3 slot will need to, sitting 32 spots clear of his grade.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Robinson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In No. 28 they get a matchup problem out wide, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in pick 60 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
Kenyatta Jackson Jr. in pick No. 92 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick123 Rnd4 J.C. Davis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, J.C. Davis well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick128 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Domani Jackson in the 128th overall pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick168 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol at slot 168 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick195 Rnd6 Duce Robinson
Circle this one: Duce Robinson at the 195th pick is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick206 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton at slot 206 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216 Rnd7 Jahiem White
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jahiem White. The roster fit checks out.
Pick242 Rnd7 Nolan Rucci
They paid sticker price for Nolan Rucci in pick 242, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
