Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Patriots.

The Patriots treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the Round 4 slot on VJ Payne a full 75 spots early. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They banked enough surplus on Jackson to cover a lot of smaller sins. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In the 31st overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at No. 63 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick95 Rnd3 Davison Igbinosun
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: Davison Igbinosun for less than the market said. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick125 Rnd4 VJ Payne
VJ Payne at slot 125 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Trey Moore
Trey Moore in Round 4, Pick 31 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick171 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Zxavian Harris at the 171st pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick191 Rnd6 Febechi Nwaiwu
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Febechi Nwaiwu at slot 191 is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jeff Caldwell in Round 6, Pick 17. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick202 Rnd6 Domani Jackson
The board fumbled Domani Jackson all the way to the 202nd pick, and they scooped it up. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick212 Rnd6 Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings at pick No. 212 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick247 Rnd7 John Michael Gyllenborg
The board had John Michael Gyllenborg higher than the Round 7 slot, and the tight end fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
