Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueA+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots let Coleman fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

The board owed the Patriots one, and it paid up: Jonah Coleman, the No. 44 name on the board, sitting there at pick 246 like a gift left on the doorstep.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 David Bailey
In pick No. 30 they get a bendy edge with upside at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Carnell Tate
You do not let a wide receiver like Carnell Tate reach the 62nd overall pick and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick94 Rnd3 Spencer Fano
Circle this one: Spencer Fano at No. 94 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick125 Rnd4 Mansoor Delane
The board fumbled Mansoor Delane all the way to pick 125, and they scooped it up. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick130 Rnd4 Cashius Howell
They barely believed it either: Cashius Howell still on the board at the 130th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick168 Rnd5 Dillon Thieneman
Taking Dillon Thieneman in Round 5, Pick 30 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick191 Rnd6 Kenyon Sadiq
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Kenyon Sadiq in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick202 Rnd6 Dante Moore
Dante Moore in slot 202 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jordyn Tyson
Somehow Jordyn Tyson was still sitting there in No. 208, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald in the 211th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jonah Coleman
They robbed the room for Jonah Coleman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
