Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
The Patriots kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Patriots did not so much draft Dominic Zvada as overpay for him, 66 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They banked enough surplus on Bowry to cover a lot of smaller sins. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In the 14th overall pick they get juice off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick46 Rnd2 Malik Muhammad
They paid sticker price for Malik Muhammad in pick 46, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick78 Rnd3 Ja'Kobi Lane
They did well to land Ja'Kobi Lane in pick No. 78, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jude Bowry
Jude Bowry at the 128th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick153 Rnd5 Justice Haynes
Steal is underselling it; Justice Haynes at slot 153 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick192 Rnd6 Dominic Zvada
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dominic Zvada well ahead of where he belonged. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick215 Rnd6 Trey Moore
Trey Moore at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Elliot Washington II
They paid a round early for Elliot Washington II in the 227th pick, more than the board wanted. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
