Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Patriots.

The Patriots looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Keaten Wade at pick No. 200 regardless, 79 picks early. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They banked enough surplus on Smith to cover a lot of smaller sins. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Blake Miller
In the 31st pick they get a blindside protector, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
They barely believed it either: Jake Slaughter still on the board at the 63rd overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick95 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
You do not let a wide receiver like Malachi Fields reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick125 Rnd4 Genesis Smith
Taking Genesis Smith in pick No. 125 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
A conviction pick on Davison Igbinosun at Round 4, Pick 31 that the board grades a round light. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst at No. 169 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick189 Rnd6 Eric McAlister
Eric McAlister in pick 189 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick200 Rnd6 Keaten Wade
A wild overpay on Keaten Wade in No. 200, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick207 Rnd6 Kamran James
A real head-scratcher, Kamran James in pick No. 207 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick210 Rnd6 Fernando Carmona
A straight-up fair deal on Fernando Carmona at the 210th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick247 Rnd7 Micah Morris
Micah Morris at slot 247 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
