Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesD FutureB+
The Patriots won the night they stopped Klubnik from sliding. Grade: B-.

Call it larceny. Cade Klubnik sat on the board until pick No. 194, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They will need Martin to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the 7th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick38 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
A tidy little value on Landon Jackson in slot 38, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick66 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles slipping to No. 66 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick98 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis in the 98th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick102 Rnd4 Nic Anderson
A straight-up fair deal on Nic Anderson at Round 4, Pick 6, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick130 Rnd5 Nick Martin
Nick Martin at pick No. 130 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick194 Rnd7 Cade Klubnik
Cade Klubnik at pick 194 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
