Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots robbed the room for Lawson. Final grade: B-.

The board owed the Patriots one, and it paid up: Deontae Lawson, the No. 54 name on the board, sitting there at the 125th overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

Sturdivant has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In slot 31 they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick63 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
They barely believed it either: Kenyon Sadiq still on the board at the 63rd overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Markel Bell
Markel Bell in pick 95 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick125 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
A linebacker of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 25 is the definition of value, full stop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick131 Rnd4 Beau Stephens
They jumped the gun on Beau Stephens, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick169 Rnd5 Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton at No. 169 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick189 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss at pick No. 189 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick200 Rnd6 J. Michael Sturdivant
They talked themselves into J. Michael Sturdivant at the 200th pick, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick210 Rnd6 Robert Spears-Jennings
The board had cheaper options than Robert Spears-Jennings at pick No. 210, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick247 Rnd7 Hykeem Williams
Nice patience on Hykeem Williams, who had no business lasting to the Round 7 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
