Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Lew: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Connor Lew slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at Round 7, Pick 30. Highway robbery.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick62 Rnd2 Arvell Reese
The board fumbled Arvell Reese all the way to slot 62, and they scooped it up. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick94 Rnd3 Carnell Tate
Carnell Tate at pick 94 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jermod McCoy
Jermod McCoy in Round 4, Pick 25 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick130 Rnd4 David Bailey
David Bailey at No. 130 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick168 Rnd5 Michael Taaffe
Circle this one: Michael Taaffe at pick No. 168 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jordyn Tyson
They robbed the room for Jordyn Tyson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick200 Rnd6 Kenyon Sadiq
A tight end of that caliber at the 200th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick207 Rnd6 Colton Hood
Colton Hood in pick 207 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick209 Rnd6 Akheem Mesidor
Taking Akheem Mesidor in No. 209 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick246 Rnd7 Connor Lew
Connor Lew at Round 7, Pick 30 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
