Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Patriots: B-.

The war room fell hard for CJ Donaldson, and it showed at the 191st overall pick: 109 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Zion Young
In pick 31 they get a bendy edge with upside, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Austin Barber
Austin Barber in pick No. 63 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick95 Rnd3 Bryce Lance
A reasonable price with a little left over, Bryce Lance in the 95th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Zxavian Harris
A wild overpay on Zxavian Harris in No. 125, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick131 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
No edge and no loss on Harold Perkins Jr. in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick171 Rnd5 Dalton Johnson
Dalton Johnson at the 171st overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick191 Rnd6 CJ Donaldson
CJ Donaldson at slot 191 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Dallen Bentley
By-the-book stuff, Dallen Bentley at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Logan Fano
Logan Fano at the 202nd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick212 Rnd6 Harrison Wallace III
No drama and no debate, Harrison Wallace III went about where he belonged in No. 212. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick247 Rnd7 Logan Taylor
A conviction pick on Logan Taylor at Round 7, Pick 31 that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
