Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots won the night they stopped Moore from sliding. Grade: B.

The Patriots did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Dante Moore fell into Round 6, Pick 22.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get protection for the quarterback at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick62 Rnd2 Chris Brazzell II
Chris Brazzell II in No. 62 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick94 Rnd3 Mansoor Delane
They barely believed it either: Mansoor Delane still on the board at pick 94. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick125 Rnd4 Makai Lemon
Makai Lemon at pick No. 125 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick130 Rnd4 Kenyon Sadiq
The board fumbled Kenyon Sadiq all the way to the 130th pick, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick170 Rnd5 David Bailey
David Bailey in the 170th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick194 Rnd6 Dillon Thieneman
Circle this one: Dillon Thieneman at slot 194 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick197 Rnd6 Michael Taaffe
They robbed the room for Michael Taaffe here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick200 Rnd6 Dante Moore
Dante Moore at the 200th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jake Slaughter
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jake Slaughter in pick No. 208, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick244 Rnd7 Eli Stowers
Taking Eli Stowers in the 244th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
