Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall D+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureA
The Patriots bled value on every deal, hence the D+.

The Patriots did not so much draft Pat Coogan as overpay for him, 39 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The Stewart value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick60 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
Good price on Elijah Sarratt in pick 60, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick92 Rnd3 Julian Neal
Julian Neal in pick No. 92 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick96 Rnd3 Caleb Tiernan
Nothing to complain about; Caleb Tiernan went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Chris Johnson
A clean, defensible pick in the 123rd pick with a little surplus value in Chris Johnson. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick128 Rnd4 Bray Hubbard
The board had cheaper options than Bray Hubbard at Round 4, Pick 28, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick132 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
A reach for Ar'maj Reed-Adams in No. 132; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick168 Rnd5 Rayshaun Benny
They talked themselves into Rayshaun Benny at the 168th pick, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick172 Rnd5 Trey Moore
Trey Moore at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick193 Rnd6 Mark Fletcher Jr.
Mark Fletcher Jr. in No. 193 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick195 Rnd6 DeAndre Moore Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, DeAndre Moore Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jaren Kanak
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jaren Kanak in slot 197, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick206 Rnd6 Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart is a better player than Round 6, Pick 28 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick214 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan in pick 214 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick242 Rnd7 Diego Pavia
A straight-up fair deal on Diego Pavia at pick No. 242, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
