Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB
Good, not great, for the Patriots: B.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Patriots spent Round 7, Pick 30 on Jalen Thompson, a name the board had a full 58 spots lower.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Allar. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In No. 32 they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
The board fumbled Anthony Hill Jr. all the way to pick 62, and they scooped it up. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick94 Rnd3 Max Klare
Max Klare in the 94th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick124 Rnd4 Xavier Scott
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Xavier Scott at the Round 4 slot. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick130 Rnd4 Blake Miller
Blake Miller at pick No. 130 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick170 Rnd5 Aaron Anderson
A straight-up fair deal on Aaron Anderson at slot 170, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
They liked Jermaine Mathews Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 172. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick192 Rnd6 Earnest Greene III
They paid sticker price for Earnest Greene III in the 192nd pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick199 Rnd6 Drew Allar
Drew Allar at pick 199 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick207 Rnd6 Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart in No. 207 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick210 Rnd6 Isaiah Jatta
A tidy bit of business in Round 6, Pick 30, where Isaiah Jatta graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jalen Thompson
They reached a country mile for Jalen Thompson at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
