Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Patriots: B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Jacobe Johnson at slot 244 is 45 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Sarratt pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup weapon at tight end at fair value.
Pick62 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt slipping to pick 62 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick94 Rnd3 Austin Siereveld
Austin Siereveld in the 94th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick125 Rnd4 Charles Jagusah
No edge and no loss on Charles Jagusah in pick No. 125; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick130 Rnd4 Bray Hubbard
They went early on Bray Hubbard in the 130th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick170 Rnd5 Rayshaun Benny
A wild overpay on Rayshaun Benny in Round 5, Pick 30, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick194 Rnd6 Mark Fletcher Jr.
A reach on Mark Fletcher Jr. in the 194th overall pick; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick197 Rnd6 Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick200 Rnd6 Lee Hunter
By-the-book stuff, Lee Hunter at slot 200 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick208 Rnd6 DeAndre Moore Jr.
DeAndre Moore Jr. at the 208th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jacobe Johnson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jacobe Johnson. A minor itch, scratched.
