Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesC- FutureA
The Patriots checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Brett Norfleet at No. 197 is 61 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

That Ott pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick62 Rnd2 Suntarine Perkins
Suntarine Perkins at pick 62 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zachariah Branch. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick125 Rnd4 Monroe Freeling
Monroe Freeling at pick No. 125 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jalon Kilgore in the Round 4 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at slot 170 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick177 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Kevin Coleman Jr. at Round 5, Pick 37 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick194 Rnd6 Adepoju Adebawore
They reached into another round for Adepoju Adebawore, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick197 Rnd6 Brett Norfleet
This one needs a full-page explanation: Brett Norfleet in the 197th pick, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jaydn Ott
Value with a capital V on Jaydn Ott in Round 6, Pick 22, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick208 Rnd6 Tree Babalade
Tree Babalade at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick244 Rnd7 James Williams Sr.
James Williams Sr. in slot 244 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
