Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
A solid, sensible weekend for the Patriots: B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Bub Means in the 193rd overall pick, a good 52 spots before the room expected him.

That is an interior defensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The phones were busy but the ledger stayed level.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In No. 6 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They took Xavier Legette at par in the 34th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kamren Kinchens. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Renardo Green
They paid up for Renardo Green at pick No. 68 when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
Spencer Rattler at pick 86 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick103 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
A big swing on Isaac Guerendo at slot 103, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at No. 134 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick137 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
They reached a country mile for Tanor Bortolini at the 137th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick180 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
They left a pile of value on the table to take Garret Greenfield this early at pick 180. The roster fit checks out.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jared Wiley well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick193 Rnd6 Bub Means
Bub Means in slot 193 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick200 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
They will replay Dwight McGlothern at pick No. 200 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick231 Rnd7 Fabien Lovett
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Fabien Lovett reach Round 7, Pick 11 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
