Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Patriots: B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Andrew Armstrong at the 219th overall pick is 57 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

Kiser at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick No. 4 they get an every-down engine for the run game at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Colston Loveland at No. 38. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They went early on Donovan Jackson in the 69th pick, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick77 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
A big swing on Dylan Fairchild at slot 77, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel in Round 4, Pick 4 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick145 Rnd5 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith in pick 145 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.
Pick219 Rnd7 Andrew Armstrong
Andrew Armstrong at slot 219 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 222 is the definition of value, full stop. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick240 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in the 240th overall pick, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
