Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Patriots let Fields fall into their laps, and walked away with a C.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Malachi Fields got past him. The Patriots do not have to explain a thing at slot 131. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C.

The Reiger pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

If Monroe Freeling and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front. A real need, handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. in slot 63 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick95 Rnd3 Mason Reiger
Value said wait; Mason Reiger in pick No. 95 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. at Round 3, Pick 35 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jack Endries
They did well to land Jack Endries in pick 125, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick131 Rnd4 Malachi Fields
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Malachi Fields in the 131st pick, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick191 Rnd6 VJ Payne
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on VJ Payne. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick198 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
Nice patience on Ephesians Prysock, who had no business lasting to the 198th overall pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick202 Rnd6 Dallen Bentley
Good price on Dallen Bentley in No. 202, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jeremiah Wright
Jeremiah Wright in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Adam Randall
Adam Randall in slot 247 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
