Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Patriots bled value on every deal, hence the D+.

Some picks age like wine; Princewill Umanmielen at pick 211 will need to, sitting 48 spots clear of his grade.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

The Taaffe pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick30 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In No. 30 they get a matchup problem out wide, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick93 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe in the 93rd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick118 Rnd4 Monroe Freeling
Monroe Freeling at pick 118 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick130 Rnd4 Bray Hubbard
Bray Hubbard in slot 130 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 169, where Jacob Rodriguez graded well above the range. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick171 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
No edge and no loss on Aamil Wagner in the 171st pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick211 Rnd6 Princewill Umanmielen
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Princewill Umanmielen well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick216 Rnd7 Daevin Hobbs
They reached a country mile for Daevin Hobbs at slot 216, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick244 Rnd7 Shamar Easter
A slide stopped in the 244th overall pick, with Shamar Easter worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
