Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Patriots: B-.

The Patriots went off the board in a big way for Mitchell Melton, 179 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They banked enough surplus on Ponds to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Chris Bell
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64 Rnd2 Rod Moore
No drama and no debate, Rod Moore went about where he belonged in the 64th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick96 Rnd3 Caleb Tiernan
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 3 slot with a little surplus value in Caleb Tiernan. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 Derrick Moore
A real head-scratcher, Derrick Moore in pick 126 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick132 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
Steal is underselling it; D'Angelo Ponds at No. 132 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jaden Greathouse
Jaden Greathouse slipping to slot 172 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick194 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss at pick No. 194 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick195 Rnd6 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter at the 195th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick201 Rnd6 Bud Clark
A straight-up fair deal on Bud Clark at pick 201, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick212 Rnd6 Mitchell Melton
Mitchell Melton at Round 6, Pick 32 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick247 Rnd7 James Smith
A reasonable price with a little left over, James Smith in No. 247. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
