Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Every other box got a look, but edge rusher did not. The Patriots will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

That Reese pick is the receipt they will wave around later. If Washington pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 30th overall pick they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, outstanding value to boot.
Pick62 Rnd2 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington in Round 2, Pick 30 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick94 Rnd3 Joe Royer
Nice patience on Joe Royer, who had no business lasting to pick 94. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Charles Jagusah
Charles Jagusah at pick No. 125 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick130 Rnd4 Blake Miller
By-the-book stuff, Blake Miller at the 130th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick170 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They paid sticker price for Davison Igbinosun in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick175 Rnd5 Duce Robinson
No edge and no loss on Duce Robinson in No. 175; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. in slot 194 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick197 Rnd6 Oscar Delp
A reasonable price with a little left over, Oscar Delp in pick 197. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick208 Rnd6 Dane Key
They did well to land Dane Key in Round 6, Pick 30, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
