Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesD FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Patriots: C.

The Patriots torched the value chart for Kamran James, taking him 57 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The Patriots clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Akheem Mesidor
In pick 31 they get a premier pass rusher, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Monroe Freeling
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Monroe Freeling. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
No drama and no debate, Jacob Rodriguez went about where he belonged in the 95th pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick125 Rnd4 Ted Hurst
They talked themselves into Ted Hurst at slot 125, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick131 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson at pick No. 131 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick169 Rnd5 Bud Clark
They liked Bud Clark enough to skip the value, taking him in the 169th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick189 Rnd6 Josh Cuevas
Josh Cuevas in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick200 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
A straight-up fair deal on Trey Zuhn III at the 200th pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick207 Rnd6 Kamran James
Kamran James at slot 207 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick210 Rnd6 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant at the 210th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Haynes King
Haynes King in No. 247 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
