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

The tape said wait; the Patriots did not. Jude Bowry went at the 95th pick, a good 35 picks before the board was ready. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

On value alone, Douglas makes the weekend a net positive. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In pick No. 31 they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in Round 2, Pick 31 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jude Bowry
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jude Bowry. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick125 Rnd4 Chandler Rivers
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Chandler Rivers in pick 125, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick131 Rnd4 Mikail Kamara
A real head-scratcher, Mikail Kamara in slot 131 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Nate Boerkircher
Nate Boerkircher at the 171st overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick191 Rnd6 Caleb Douglas
Taking Caleb Douglas in pick No. 191 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick198 Rnd6 Cameron Ball
No edge and no loss on Cameron Ball in slot 198; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick202 Rnd6 Justin Jefferson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Justin Jefferson. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick212 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
They took Le'Veon Moss at par in the 212th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick247 Rnd7 Xavier Nwankpa
No drama and no debate, Xavier Nwankpa went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 31. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
