Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesD FutureB-
The jury is out on the Patriots. For now, C+.

The Patriots clearly saw something nobody else did in Jack Kelly, taking him 57 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Igbinosun. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Emmanuel Pregnon
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front, though they paid up to get him.
Pick60 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. in the 60th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick95 Rnd3 Max Llewellyn
Value said wait; Max Llewellyn in No. 95 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick125 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
They read the board right and Bryce Lance was the payoff at slot 125. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick131 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at pick No. 131 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick158 Rnd5 Nate Boerkircher
They let Nate Boerkircher come to them and pounced at pick 158. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick189 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
A clean, defensible pick in the 189th pick with a little surplus value in Ephesians Prysock. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick200 Rnd6 Bobby Jamison-Travis
No drama and no debate, Bobby Jamison-Travis went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jack Kelly
A wild overpay on Jack Kelly in pick No. 207, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick247 Rnd7 Carver Willis
Carver Willis at pick 247 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
