Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots turned the phones into found money: B.

The Patriots looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Trey Moore at slot 131 regardless, 47 picks early.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Igbinosun at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Zion Young
In the 31st pick they get a premier pass rusher, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick92 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
A clean, defensible pick in No. 92 with a little surplus value in Zakee Wheatley. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick95 Rnd3 Ja'Kobi Lane
They paid sticker price for Ja'Kobi Lane in Round 3, Pick 31, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jack Endries
Jack Endries at slot 112 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick125 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Davison Igbinosun at the Round 4 slot. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick131 Rnd4 Trey Moore
Trey Moore at pick No. 131 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
By-the-book stuff, Ar'maj Reed-Adams at the 171st overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick191 Rnd6 Josh Cameron
Nothing to complain about; Josh Cameron went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick198 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
A tidy bit of business in pick 198, where Ephesians Prysock graded well above the range. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick202 Rnd6 Bobby Jamison-Travis
No edge and no loss on Bobby Jamison-Travis in Round 6, Pick 21; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jack Kelly
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jack Kelly in the 212th pick, miles early. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick247 Rnd7 Adam Randall
Adam Randall in pick No. 247 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
