Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C
ValueC NeedB- TradesD- FutureB
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Patriots to a C.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Patriots did exactly that with Kingsley Eguakun in pick 184. Call it a C and check back in two years.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The Coleman steal is the beam this whole class leans on. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The Patriots indulged a want in Stover while a need in edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots stayed open.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in pick 34 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
They robbed the room for Keon Coleman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick78 Rnd3 Cade Stover
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take Cade Stover, a TE-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick104 Rnd4 Cam Hart
A tidy bit of business in No. 104, where Cam Hart graded well above the range. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick108 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at pick No. 108 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick136 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They read the board right and Johnny Wilson was the payoff at pick No. 136. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
A big swing on Jawhar Jordan at slot 182, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick184 Rnd6 Kingsley Eguakun
Kingsley Eguakun at Round 6, Pick 9 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick229 Rnd7 Carson Steele
Value said wait; Carson Steele in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
