Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Patriots a B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Patriots would have aced it. Da'Shawn Womack at Round 7, Pick 28 is 66 spots clear of where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 28 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick60 Rnd2 Isaiah World
You do not let an offensive lineman like Isaiah World reach Round 2, Pick 28 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick92 Rnd3 Nyck Harbor
Nyck Harbor at pick 92 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick123 Rnd4 Bray Hubbard
They jumped the gun on Bray Hubbard, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Parker Brailsford. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
A tidy little value on Jacob Rodriguez in No. 168, a step better than break-even. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Tanner Koziol
A tight end of that caliber at the 195th pick is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick206 Rnd6 Isaiah Jatta
A reasonable price with a little left over, Isaiah Jatta in the 206th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick216 Rnd7 Antonio Kite
They robbed the room for Antonio Kite here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick242 Rnd7 Da'Shawn Womack
A wild overpay on Da'Shawn Womack in No. 242, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
