Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Patriots spent pick No. 63 on Jude Bowry, a name the board had a full 67 spots lower. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Sarratt.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Akheem Mesidor
No edge and no loss on Akheem Mesidor in the 31st overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jude Bowry
A big swing on Jude Bowry at Round 2, Pick 31, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick95 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt at pick No. 95 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick125 Rnd4 Malik Benson
Malik Benson in No. 125 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick131 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
A reach for Dametrious Crownover in the 131st pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol at slot 171 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick191 Rnd6 Justin Jefferson
Justin Jefferson in Round 6, Pick 10 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick198 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
A clean, defensible pick in No. 198 with a little surplus value in Ephesians Prysock. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick202 Rnd6 Bobby Jamison-Travis
They liked Bobby Jamison-Travis enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 202. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jimmy Rolder
They reached into another round for Jimmy Rolder, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick247 Rnd7 Latrell McCutchin Sr.
They let Latrell McCutchin Sr. come to them and pounced at the 247th pick. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
