Lostboyrufio DRAFTING FOR THEPatriots
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall
B-
ValueC+
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Patriots a B-. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Patriots took Caden Curry a full 23 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.
They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Klein.
They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Chris Bell
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a home-run threat at receiver, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63
Rnd2
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at the Round 2 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick95
Rnd3
Caden Curry
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Caden Curry well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick125
Rnd4
Dametrious Crownover
They paid up for Dametrious Crownover at the 125th pick when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick131
Rnd4
Max Llewellyn
Max Llewellyn at the 131st overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick169
Rnd5
Chase Roberts
Fair-plus on Chase Roberts, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick189
Rnd6
Marlin Klein
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Marlin Klein at slot 189 is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick200
Rnd6
Justin Jefferson
By-the-book stuff, Justin Jefferson at pick 200 squarely in line with his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick207
Rnd6
Toriano Pride Jr.
They paid sticker price for Toriano Pride Jr. in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick210
Rnd6
Terion Stewart
They took Terion Stewart at par in No. 210, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick247
Rnd7
Nick Barrett
They paid a round early for Nick Barrett in Round 7, Pick 31, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
