Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Patriots: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Patriots started one anyway for Blake Miller, 23 picks ahead of schedule. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Getting Haulcy where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Chris Bell
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a true top target, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 A.J. Haulcy
Quietly one of the better values of the day, A.J. Haulcy at slot 63. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick95 Rnd3 Blake Miller
A real head-scratcher, Blake Miller in the 95th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Eric Rivers
Eric Rivers in pick 125 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick131 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Ar'maj Reed-Adams in No. 131 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Fair-plus on Jermaine Mathews Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick189 Rnd6 Miles Kitselman
Miles Kitselman in the 189th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick200 Rnd6 Daevin Hobbs
A reach on Daevin Hobbs in the 200th pick; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick207 Rnd6 Robert Spears-Jennings
They paid sticker price for Robert Spears-Jennings in Round 6, Pick 28, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jordan White
A conviction pick on Jordan White at the Round 6 slot that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Roydell Williams
A premium they did not need to pay, Roydell Williams a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
