Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureC+
Grand theft in the 29th pick: the Patriots steal Love and grade out a B+.

The real work happened on the phones. The Patriots fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Getting Love where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The Kanak pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a three-down runner, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick93 Rnd3 Caleb Tiernan
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Caleb Tiernan. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick118 Rnd4 Chris Johnson
Chris Johnson at pick No. 118 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick130 Rnd4 Bray Hubbard
Bray Hubbard at the 130th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
They did well to land Jacob Rodriguez in slot 169, just ahead of his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jaren Kanak
Jaren Kanak in the Round 6 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Isaiah Jatta
Isaiah Jatta at the 198th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick211 Rnd6 DeAndre Moore Jr.
They took DeAndre Moore Jr. at par in pick 211, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick214 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
They jumped the gun on Bryce Foster, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
