Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Patriots: B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Trey Moore, 78 picks early at No. 152.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom. They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In the 12th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Cayden Green
Cayden Green at Round 2, Pick 13 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Darrell Jackson Jr. at pick 76 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick112 Rnd4 Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp at pick No. 112 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick113 Rnd4 Raylen Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Raylen Wilson at No. 113, value and slot in agreement. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick129 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
A premium they did not need to pay, Davison Igbinosun a notch or two before his time. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick151 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa in the 151st pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick152 Rnd5 Trey Moore
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trey Moore this early at pick 152. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick190 Rnd6 Hykeem Williams
Hykeem Williams in the Round 6 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick218 Rnd7 Marquis Johnson
They did well to land Marquis Johnson in pick No. 218, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick225 Rnd7 PJ Williams
PJ Williams in Round 7, Pick 9 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
