Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureA+
Grand theft in slot 95: the Patriots steal Bernard and grade out a D.

The Patriots lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. It grades a D, and the process earned it.

The Henry Jr. pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

The Perkins Jr. pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher and tight end. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Bernard.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick31 Rnd1 Brandon Cisse
In pick 31 they get a press-man option on the boundary. More want than need.
Pick63 Rnd2 Malachi Fields
A reach for Malachi Fields in the 63rd overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick95 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
The board fumbled Germie Bernard all the way to No. 95, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick96 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Harold Perkins Jr. adds a linebacker and leaves edge rusher and tight end untouched.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore in the 112th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick125 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Ar'maj Reed-Adams in pick No. 125 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick131 Rnd4 Drew Allar
A conviction pick on Drew Allar at pick 131 that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
They paid sticker price for Dametrious Crownover in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick133 Rnd4 Isaiah World
No edge and no loss on Isaiah World in slot 133; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick134 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at No. 134 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
A straight-up fair deal on Davison Igbinosun at the 150th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst at Round 5, Pick 31 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at the 174th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick189 Rnd6 Charles Jagusah
Charles Jagusah at pick No. 189 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick200 Rnd6 Bud Clark
A premium they did not need to pay, Bud Clark a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick207 Rnd6 Zxavian Harris
The board had cheaper options than Zxavian Harris at No. 207, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick210 Rnd6 Robert Henry Jr.
Robert Henry Jr. at Round 6, Pick 31 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick215 Rnd6 Eli Heidenreich
They reached into another round for Eli Heidenreich, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick247 Rnd7 Logan Taylor
They went early on Logan Taylor in pick 247, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
