Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Patriots spent the 208th overall pick on A'Marion Peterson, a name most had 62 spots down the list. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

On value alone, Slaughter makes the weekend a net positive. The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Davis pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at safety and quarterback.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Brandon Cisse
In the 30th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jake Slaughter in Round 2, Pick 30, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jake Golday
The board had Jake Golday higher than the Round 3 slot, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick No. 125 on Tacario Davis with safety and quarterback unsolved.
Pick130 Rnd4 Max Iheanachor
A wild overpay on Max Iheanachor in the 130th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick168 Rnd5 Kage Casey
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kage Casey in pick 168. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
No drama and no debate, Tanner Koziol went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick191 Rnd6 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter at the 191st pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick202 Rnd6 Oscar Delp
They took Oscar Delp at par in pick 202, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick208 Rnd6 A'Marion Peterson
A'Marion Peterson in the 208th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick211 Rnd6 Earnest Greene III
Nice patience on Earnest Greene III, who had no business lasting to slot 211. It fills a real need, too.
Pick246 Rnd7 Barion Brown
By-the-book stuff, Barion Brown at pick No. 246 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
