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

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Patriots took Oscar Delp a full 40 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The Patriots indulged a want in Perkins Jr. while a need in interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots stayed open. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. More want than need.
Pick63 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
No drama and no debate, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren went about where he belonged in pick 63. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick95 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent the 95th overall pick on Harold Perkins Jr., a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick125 Rnd4 CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels in No. 125 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick131 Rnd4 Oscar Delp
They talked themselves into Oscar Delp at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
A tidy little value on Jermaine Mathews Jr. in pick No. 169, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick189 Rnd6 Isaiah Jatta
Isaiah Jatta at the 189th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick200 Rnd6 Keyron Crawford
Keyron Crawford in the Round 6 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jordan White
They jumped the gun on Jordan White, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick247 Rnd7 Denver Harris
A conviction pick on Denver Harris at pick No. 247 that the board grades a round light. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
