Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Patriots bled value on every deal, hence the D.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Patriots did exactly that with Clay Webb in the 47th overall pick. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Gabriel pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Tre Harris
In No. 24 they get a weapon on the perimeter, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jabbar Muhammad
A tidy little value on Jabbar Muhammad in Round 2, Pick 2, a step better than break-even. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick40 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
They went early on Josh Conerly Jr. in the 40th overall pick, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick47 Rnd2 Clay Webb
They reached into another round for Clay Webb, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick56 Rnd2 Luke Lachey
A straight-up fair deal on Luke Lachey at pick No. 56, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick66 Rnd3 Rod Moore
No edge and no loss on Rod Moore in slot 66; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
They talked themselves into Jalon Walker at pick 78, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Devin Neal
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Devin Neal. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick98 Rnd4 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel in slot 98 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick111 Rnd4 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum in the 111th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick130 Rnd5 Aydan White
They did well to land Aydan White in Round 5, Pick 2, just ahead of his grade. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Alfred Collins
They liked Alfred Collins enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 155. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick175 Rnd6 Zach Rice
Zach Rice at No. 175 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick194 Rnd7 Noah Thomas
By-the-book stuff, Noah Thomas at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
