Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots let Singleton fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

Call it larceny. Nicholas Singleton sat on the board until slot 131, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The Miller reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Blake Miller
A reach on Blake Miller in the Round 1 slot; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jacob Rodriguez
A conviction pick on Jacob Rodriguez at No. 63 that the board grades a round light. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick95 Rnd3 Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance at Round 3, Pick 31 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick125 Rnd4 Oscar Delp
No drama and no debate, Oscar Delp went about where he belonged in the 125th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick131 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
Steal is underselling it; Nicholas Singleton at pick 131 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick171 Rnd5 Marlin Klein
A slide stopped in the 171st overall pick, with Marlin Klein worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick191 Rnd6 VJ Payne
VJ Payne at pick No. 191 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick198 Rnd6 Bobby Jamison-Travis
Bobby Jamison-Travis in slot 198 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick202 Rnd6 Cole Payton
They did well to land Cole Payton in slot 202, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jeremiah Wright
They paid sticker price for Jeremiah Wright in pick 212, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jack Kelly
A premium they did not need to pay, Jack Kelly a notch or two before his time. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
