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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with PJ Williams at pick 189, a reach of 49 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Landing Hill Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
In the 31st overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. in Round 2, Pick 31 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jack Endries
A reach on Jack Endries in pick 95; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
Good price on Jaeden Roberts in the 125th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick131 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
A clean, defensible pick in No. 131 with a little surplus value in Eli Raridon. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick169 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
They took Xavier Nwankpa at par in pick No. 169, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick189 Rnd6 PJ Williams
PJ Williams in Round 6, Pick 10 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick200 Rnd6 Antonio Kite
Antonio Kite at slot 200 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick207 Rnd6 De'Zhaun Stribling
A premium they did not need to pay, De'Zhaun Stribling a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick210 Rnd6 Riley Mahlman
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Riley Mahlman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
They jumped the gun on Jordan Hall, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
