Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Patriots, and a B- to prove it.

Nobody had Dasan McCullough this high, and it is not close. The Patriots reached 35 spots to get him at the Round 6 slot.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. That is a quarterback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
In slot 31 they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Michael Taaffe
A slide stopped in the Round 2 slot, with Michael Taaffe worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick95 Rnd3 J.C. Davis
They reached a country mile for J.C. Davis at No. 95, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick125 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch at pick 125 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Hezekiah Masses
Hezekiah Masses in the 131st pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick169 Rnd5 Zane Durant
Zane Durant at Round 5, Pick 31 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jaren Kanak
Jaren Kanak in Round 6, Pick 10 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick200 Rnd6 Desmond Reid
Desmond Reid at slot 200 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick207 Rnd6 Dasan McCullough
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dasan McCullough well ahead of where he belonged. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jalon Daniels
Somehow Jalon Daniels was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
No edge and no loss on Jordan Hall in pick 247; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
