Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Price: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jadarian Price got past him. The Patriots do not have to explain a thing at pick 95.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They are betting Thomas proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In pick 31 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick63 Rnd2 Max Klare
Max Klare at pick No. 63 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
Circle this one: Jadarian Price at the 95th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Nice patience on Jalon Kilgore, who had no business lasting to No. 125. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick131 Rnd4 Bishop Fitzgerald
Bishop Fitzgerald in Round 4, Pick 31 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jalen Stroman
Jalen Stroman at the 169th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick189 Rnd6 Febechi Nwaiwu
Febechi Nwaiwu in slot 189 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick200 Rnd6 Taylen Green
A slide stopped in the Round 6 slot, with Taylen Green worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick207 Rnd6 Kobe Baynes
Kobe Baynes in pick 207 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick210 Rnd6 Zavion Thomas
They jumped the gun on Zavion Thomas, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at the Round 7 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
