Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Patriots to a C.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Patriots would have aced it. Davison Igbinosun at Round 4, Pick 27 is 41 spots clear of where he belonged.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Tyreak Sapp
In the 23rd pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Max Klare
Max Klare in Round 2, Pick 12 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick55 Rnd2 Connor Lew
The board fumbled Connor Lew all the way to pick No. 55, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick85 Rnd3 Caleb Tiernan
They went early on Caleb Tiernan in the 85th overall pick, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick112 Rnd4 Michael Taaffe
Somehow Michael Taaffe was still sitting there in pick 112, and they pounced on premier safety value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick129 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
A big swing on Davison Igbinosun at slot 129, well ahead of any board in the building. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jaden Greathouse
They robbed the room for Jaden Greathouse here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick160 Rnd5 Bud Clark
Bud Clark at the 160th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick190 Rnd6 Amare Campbell
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Amare Campbell in pick No. 190, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick225 Rnd7 Sawyer Robertson
Sawyer Robertson slipping to slot 225 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
