Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Patriots: B-.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named safety, a need the Patriots walked right past. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

If Kamara pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They banked enough surplus on Branch to cover a lot of smaller sins. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 A.J. Harris
In the 28th overall pick they get an island corner. More want than need.
Pick60 Rnd2 Nyck Harbor
Nyck Harbor at Round 2, Pick 28 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick92 Rnd3 Mikail Kamara
A real head-scratcher, Mikail Kamara in No. 92 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick123 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chase Bisontis. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick128 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
They let Zachariah Branch come to them and pounced at pick No. 128. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick168 Rnd5 Terion Stewart
A straight-up fair deal on Terion Stewart at pick 168, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick195 Rnd6 Isaiah Jatta
No drama and no debate, Isaiah Jatta went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick206 Rnd6 Drayk Bowen
By-the-book stuff, Drayk Bowen at the 206th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick216 Rnd7 Jaren Kanak
They did well to land Jaren Kanak in slot 216, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick242 Rnd7 Bear Alexander
A reach on Bear Alexander in pick 242; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
