Solo DRAFTING FOR THEPatriots
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall

FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Patriots. The Patriots looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Trey Moore at No. 125 regardless, 91 picks early.
Hall falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Spending an early pick on linebacker with interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In No. 31 they get the heartbeat of the defense at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick63
Rnd2
A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy is a better player than the 63rd pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick95
Rnd3
Jacob Rodriguez
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 95 on Jacob Rodriguez with interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots unsolved.
Pick125
Rnd4
Trey Moore
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trey Moore well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick131
Rnd4
Eric Rivers
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Eric Rivers. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169
Rnd5
Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp in the 169th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick189
Rnd6
Barion Brown
A big swing on Barion Brown at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick200
Rnd6
Charles Jagusah
Charles Jagusah at pick No. 200 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick207
Rnd6
Isaiah Jatta
They talked themselves into Isaiah Jatta at slot 207, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick210
Rnd6
Fa'alili Fa'amoe
They reached a country mile for Fa'alili Fa'amoe at Round 6, Pick 31, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick247
Rnd7
TJ Hall
TJ Hall in the 247th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
