Mileslamelo2 DRAFTING FOR THEPatriots
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall
B-
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesB-
FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Patriots. The one they had to fix is still broken. The Patriots left wide receiver untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.
On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Ben Roberts
In slot 30 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. Need was not the driver here.
Pick62
Rnd2
Jayden Jackson
They paid sticker price for Jayden Jackson in Round 2, Pick 30, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick94
Rnd3
La'khi Roland
La'khi Roland at No. 94 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick125
Rnd4
Elinneus Davis
Elinneus Davis at the 125th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick130
Rnd4
James Peoples
James Peoples at the Round 4 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick168
Rnd5
Charles Jagusah
Charles Jagusah in the 168th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick189
Rnd6
Adepoju Adebawore
No edge and no loss on Adepoju Adebawore in pick 189; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick200
Rnd6
Peyton Bowen
They took Peyton Bowen at par in pick No. 200, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick207
Rnd6
Bear Alexander
No drama and no debate, Bear Alexander went about where he belonged in the 207th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick209
Rnd6
Avery Johnson
Avery Johnson at pick No. 209 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick246
Rnd7
Dylan Edwards
Dylan Edwards at the Round 7 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
