KMQ DRAFTING FOR THEPatriots
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall
B-
ValueB
NeedB
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Patriots checked most of the boxes and earned a B-. The Patriots spent real capital to be 26 picks early on Ty Robinson, and the board is going to hold them to it. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.
That Warren pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Kelvin Banks Jr.
In No. 4 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick38
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
The board fumbled Tyler Warren all the way to the 38th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick69
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at pick 69 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick77
Rnd3
Jalen Royals
A slide stopped in slot 77, with Jalen Royals worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick106
Rnd4
RJ Harvey
They left a pile of value on the table to take RJ Harvey this early at pick No. 106. The roster fit checks out.
Pick144
Rnd5
Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson at the 144th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171
Rnd5
Drew Kendall
This one needs a full-page explanation: Drew Kendall in slot 171, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
