Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

Whoever sat across the table from the Patriots should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

If Lutmer pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

The Nelson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The Patriots paired the rookies with proven help, Brock Bowers leading the way.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Zach Lutmer
In pick No. 30 they get an island corner, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick94 Rnd3 Nyck Harbor
They went early on Nyck Harbor in slot 94, and the value did not follow. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Kam Franklin
Kam Franklin in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick168 Rnd5 Walker Lyons
They paid sticker price for Walker Lyons in the 168th pick, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick189 Rnd6 Peyton Bowen
They liked Peyton Bowen enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 189. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick200 Rnd6 Malachi Nelson
Malachi Nelson slipping to pick 200 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick207 Rnd6 Kelby Collins
Kelby Collins at the 207th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick209 Rnd6 A'Marion Peterson
By-the-book stuff, A'Marion Peterson at Round 6, Pick 30 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
