Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB+
More right than wrong for the Patriots, and a B to prove it.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Patriots took Eyabi Okie-Anoma at the 231st pick, roughly 53 spots before his name belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Keegan falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In slot 3 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Michael Penix Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Michael Penix Jr. at pick No. 34 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick68 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at Round 3, Pick 4 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick103 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving at pick 103 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick137 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams is a better player than the 137th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick180 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick231 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
Eyabi Okie-Anoma at the 231st overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
