Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA
Reed should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a C+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jaylen Reed slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at the Round 7 slot. Highway robbery.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The James pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup weapon at tight end, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Mike Green
Mike Green slid further than he should have, and slot 38 is lovely value for the edge rusher. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick58 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
They did well to land TreVeyon Henderson in the 58th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Jack Bech at Round 3, Pick 5 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick77 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
A quiet steal in the 77th pick: Cameron Williams for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at No. 106 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick144 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
They jumped the gun on Andres Borregales, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
They robbed the room for Jaylen Reed here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick220 Rnd7 Shemar James
Shemar James at slot 220 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick238 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
They went early on Ty Hamilton in pick No. 238, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
