Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureA
The Patriots let Stutsman fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Danny Stutsman at the 144th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

Reaching for Moss left real value on the table behind him. Leaving safety 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 safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Josh Simmons
A quiet steal in No. 41: Josh Simmons for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jalon Walker in slot 43. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick72 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Value with a capital V on Colston Loveland in the 72nd overall pick, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
The board had Jalen Royals higher than the 86th pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick108 Rnd4 Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss at pick 108 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
They robbed the room for Danny Stutsman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick149 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar in Round 5, Pick 11 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick185 Rnd6 Ricky White III
Ricky White III is a better player than No. 185 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick218 Rnd7 Quincy Riley
A cornerback of that caliber at pick 218 is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick220 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
A straight-up fair deal on Luke Lachey at slot 220, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick236 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They barely believed it either: Dont'e Thornton Jr. still on the board at pick No. 236. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick256 Rnd7 J.C. Davis
You do not let an offensive lineman like J.C. Davis reach the 256th pick and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
