Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureC+
The Patriots lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Patriots would have aced it. Patrick Payton at the Round 6 slot is 40 spots clear of where he belonged.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Getting Reese where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, outstanding value to boot.
Pick31 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
In the 31st pick they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Zion Young
They left a pile of value on the table to take Zion Young this early at the Round 2 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick62 Rnd2 Caleb Tiernan
A real head-scratcher, Caleb Tiernan in the 62nd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick94 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
A slide stopped in No. 94, with Malik Muhammad worth more than the price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick124 Rnd4 Blake Miller
They paid a round early for Blake Miller in pick 124, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick130 Rnd4 Bray Hubbard
The board had cheaper options than Bray Hubbard at pick No. 130, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick168 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Kevin Coleman Jr. at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick202 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
A wild overpay on Patrick Payton in No. 202, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick208 Rnd6 Josh Cuevas
They reached a country mile for Josh Cuevas at Round 6, Pick 27, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick211 Rnd6 Rasheem Biles
Rasheem Biles in the 211th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick220 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
No edge and no loss on Thaddeus Dixon in slot 220; it is a wash and a sensible one. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick257 Rnd7 Hykeem Williams
Hykeem Williams at the 257th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
