Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Stowers should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Eli Stowers, the Round 3 slot, roughly 39 picks past where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. With edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 KC Concepcion
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. in Round 2, Pick 31 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick95 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers in slot 95 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick125 Rnd4 Bud Clark
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Bud Clark in pick No. 125, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick131 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Harold Perkins Jr. while clear needs at edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots sat open.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kage Casey
They let Kage Casey come to them and pounced at the 171st pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick191 Rnd6 Domani Jackson
Nice patience on Domani Jackson, who had no business lasting to the 191st overall pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick198 Rnd6 Aamil Wagner
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick 198 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick202 Rnd6 Kendrick Law
Kendrick Law in pick 202 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick212 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss in the 212th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick247 Rnd7 Latrell McCutchin Sr.
Latrell McCutchin Sr. at pick No. 247 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
