Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 180: the Patriots steal Oladapo and grade out a B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Kitan Oladapo, the No. 154 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 180. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They will need Williams to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter at No. 50 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at the 68th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss at pick 103 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick117 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at pick No. 117 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick137 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
A premium they did not need to pay, Dallin Holker a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
No edge and no loss on Jordan Travis in Round 5, Pick 35; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick180 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at slot 180 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick193 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Good price on Tanor Bortolini in pick 193, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick210 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
A slide stopped in the 210th pick, with Curtis Jacobs worth more than the price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick231 Rnd7 Miyan Williams
Miyan Williams in pick No. 231 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
