Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall
C+
ValueA
NeedB
TradesD-
FutureC
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Dunker: C+. You build a draft on nights like this. Gennings Dunker had no business being available in pick 125, and the Patriots did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Adding A.J. Brown by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.
So much rides on Jeremiyah Love that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Jeremiyah Love
In pick No. 31 they get a centerpiece for the ground game at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick40
Rnd2
Kenyon Sadiq
They barely believed it either: Kenyon Sadiq still on the board at the 40th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick53
Rnd2
Caleb Lomu
Caleb Lomu at No. 53 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick106
Rnd4
Lee Hunter
Somehow Lee Hunter was still sitting there in slot 106, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick125
Rnd4
Gennings Dunker
Gennings Dunker in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick171
Rnd5
Charles Demmings
They will replay Charles Demmings at Round 5, Pick 31 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick191
Rnd6
Domani Jackson
Nice patience on Domani Jackson, who had no business lasting to pick 191. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick198
Rnd6
VJ Payne
VJ Payne at the 198th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick202
Rnd6
Zane Durant
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 202, where Zane Durant graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick212
Rnd6
Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell at No. 212 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
