Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Kalil Alexander in pick 189, a good 30 spots before the room expected him.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 KC Concepcion
In No. 31 they get a true top target at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 A.J. Haulcy
Quietly one of the better values of the day, A.J. Haulcy at the 63rd pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jude Bowry
A real head-scratcher, Jude Bowry in the 95th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis at pick No. 125 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick131 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge slid further than he should have, and the Round 4 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick169 Rnd5 Terion Stewart
Terion Stewart at Round 5, Pick 31 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick189 Rnd6 Kalil Alexander
Kalil Alexander in the 189th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick200 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
A straight-up fair deal on Bryce Foster at pick No. 200, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick207 Rnd6 De'Zhaun Stribling
De'Zhaun Stribling in pick 207 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick210 Rnd6 Brett Norfleet
No edge and no loss on Brett Norfleet in Round 6, Pick 31; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jordan Hall. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
