Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureC
The Patriots turned the phones into found money: B.

The Patriots treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick No. 82 on Caden Curry a full 43 spots early.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. Hill Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Anthony Hill Jr. in pick 63, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick82 Rnd3 Caden Curry
A wild overpay on Caden Curry in No. 82, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106 Rnd4 Zakee Wheatley
Taking Zakee Wheatley in pick No. 106 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick128 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
A premium they did not need to pay, Dametrious Crownover a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
Pick167 Rnd5 Marlin Klein
Marlin Klein in the 167th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick198 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
Value with a capital V on Ephesians Prysock in pick No. 198, a genuine coup. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jack Kelly
Jack Kelly at the 243rd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick247 Rnd7 Adam Randall
This one needs a full-page explanation: Adam Randall in No. 247, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
