Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Patriots a B-.

The Jha'Quan Jackson selection is the head-turner. The Patriots reached 91 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The Turner pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick 3 they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Dallas Turner
They robbed the room for Dallas Turner here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick68 Rnd3 Michael Pratt
Value said wait; Michael Pratt in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick104 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
Taking Caelen Carson in the 104th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson at Round 4, Pick 36 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick182 Rnd6 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson is a better player than pick No. 182 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick229 Rnd7 Austin Stogner
Somehow Austin Stogner was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
