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

The Patriots torched the value chart for Haynes King, taking him 53 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Sarratt value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
Denzel Boston at the 30th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
Value with a capital V on Elijah Sarratt in the Round 2 slot, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick94 Rnd3 Austin Siereveld
They paid sticker price for Austin Siereveld in slot 94, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick125 Rnd4 Chris Johnson
A slide stopped in Round 4, Pick 25, with Chris Johnson worth more than the price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick130 Rnd4 Bray Hubbard
They liked Bray Hubbard enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 130. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
They read the board right and Jacob Rodriguez was the payoff at pick No. 170. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jaren Kanak
Jaren Kanak at Round 6, Pick 16 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick197 Rnd6 Mark Fletcher Jr.
Mark Fletcher Jr. in the 197th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
Pick200 Rnd6 Lee Hunter
No edge and no loss on Lee Hunter in pick No. 200; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick208 Rnd6 DeAndre Moore Jr.
They paid up for DeAndre Moore Jr. at the Round 6 slot when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick244 Rnd7 Haynes King
Haynes King at the 244th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
