Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Patriots a B-.

The war room fell hard for Vincent Anthony Jr., and it showed at pick No. 118: 68 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Landing Fifita that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In slot 29 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end. A real need, handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy in the Round 2 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick93 Rnd3 Chandler Rivers
Chandler Rivers at the 93rd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick118 Rnd4 Vincent Anthony Jr.
Vincent Anthony Jr. at pick 118 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jalon Kilgore at the 130th overall pick is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick169 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
A straight-up fair deal on Bryce Boettcher at pick No. 169, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick198 Rnd6 Tree Babalade
No drama and no debate, Tree Babalade went about where he belonged in slot 198. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Quinten Joyner
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Quinten Joyner. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick216 Rnd7 Noah Fifita
Circle this one: Noah Fifita at No. 216 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick244 Rnd7 Barion Brown
Barion Brown at pick 244 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
