Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureC
Nobody dealt better than the Patriots this weekend: B.

The Patriots put a flag in the ground for Jack Kelly, 57 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Getting Abney II where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick63 Rnd2 Keith Abney II
Circle this one: Keith Abney II at the 63rd pick is a fall that decides a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick84 Rnd3 Caden Curry
Caden Curry at pick 84 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick95 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley at the Round 3 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick123 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
They did well to land Bryce Lance in Round 4, Pick 23, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick125 Rnd4 Nate Boerkircher
Nate Boerkircher in pick No. 125 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick158 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
Value said wait; Kaleb Elarms-Orr in No. 158 says they were not listening. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick189 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
Nothing to complain about; Ephesians Prysock went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick200 Rnd6 Bobby Jamison-Travis
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bobby Jamison-Travis. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jack Kelly
Jack Kelly at Round 6, Pick 28 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick210 Rnd6 Cole Payton
They reached a country mile for Cole Payton at the 210th overall pick, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick247 Rnd7 Dominic Zvada
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dominic Zvada. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick257 Rnd7 Enrique Cruz Jr.
A big swing on Enrique Cruz Jr. at pick 257, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
