Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Beck: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Carson Beck tumbling to the Patriots in pick 194 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The cost of the Jones reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe at pick 62 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick94 Rnd3 Caleb Tiernan
They took Caleb Tiernan at par in Round 3, Pick 30, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick125 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
The board had Domani Jackson higher than slot 125, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick130 Rnd4 Logan Jones
They went early on Logan Jones in the 130th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick170 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
A tidy little value on Tanner Koziol in No. 170, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick194 Rnd6 Carson Beck
They barely believed it either: Carson Beck still on the board at pick No. 194. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. at the 197th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick200 Rnd6 Bud Clark
Bud Clark in pick No. 200 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick208 Rnd6 Raylen Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Raylen Wilson at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jamal Haynes
Jamal Haynes at pick 244 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
