Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Ramsey: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Kamari Ramsey slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at pick 95. Highway robbery.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Crawford pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the 31st overall pick they get a three-down second-level presence at fair value.
Pick63 Rnd2 Eli Stowers
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Eli Stowers. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick95 Rnd3 Kamari Ramsey
Kamari Ramsey in Round 3, Pick 31 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick125 Rnd4 CJ Daniels
They took CJ Daniels at par in pick No. 125, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick169 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp in No. 169 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick189 Rnd6 Thaddeus Dixon
Nothing to complain about; Thaddeus Dixon went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick200 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at pick 200 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick207 Rnd6 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant at pick 207 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick210 Rnd6 Keyron Crawford
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Keyron Crawford well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick247 Rnd7 Micah Morris
A straight-up fair deal on Micah Morris at the 247th pick, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
