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

Everything else got attention, and edge rusher got none. That is a strange way for the Patriots to leave a draft.

The Chaplin reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The Stowers value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In pick 30 they get a go-to option on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Chaplin
Xavier Chaplin at the 62nd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick94 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
They let Eli Stowers come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tao Johnson
They paid sticker price for Tao Johnson in No. 125, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick130 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford at pick No. 130 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick170 Rnd5 Connor Tollison
By-the-book stuff, Connor Tollison at the 170th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick194 Rnd6 Monroe Mills
A quiet steal in slot 194: Monroe Mills for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
Pick197 Rnd6 Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart in Round 6, Pick 19 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick200 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss in No. 200 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick208 Rnd6 Cam Calhoun
No edge and no loss on Cam Calhoun in the 208th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jamal Haynes
They liked Jamal Haynes enough to skip the value, taking him in the 244th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
