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

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

Every board in the league had Vinson lower, and that gap is the story. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 4th pick they get juice off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
They liked Aireontae Ersery enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 2, Pick 6. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at pick 69 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick77 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
By-the-book stuff, Andrew Mukuba at slot 77 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They did well to land Cam Skattebo in No. 106, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick144 Rnd5 Aeneas Peebles
No edge and no loss on Aeneas Peebles in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick217 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
A reach on Carson Vinson in pick No. 217; the board had better options right there. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220 Rnd7 Robert Longerbeam
Robert Longerbeam in the 220th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
A straight-up fair deal on Jamon Dumas-Johnson at pick No. 238, value and slot in agreement. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
