Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Patriots a B-.

The Patriots put a flag in the ground for Max Llewellyn, 46 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Haulcy at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Romello Height
In the 31st pick they get a premier pass rusher, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 A.J. Haulcy
The board had A.J. Haulcy higher than No. 63, and the safety fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Max Llewellyn
This one needs a full-page explanation: Max Llewellyn in slot 95, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Value with a capital V on Bryce Lance in pick No. 125, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick131 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Eli Raridon at pick 131. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick169 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
They paid sticker price for Aamil Wagner in the 169th overall pick, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick189 Rnd6 Red Murdock
By-the-book stuff, Red Murdock at No. 189 squarely in line with his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick200 Rnd6 Bobby Jamison-Travis
Bobby Jamison-Travis at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick210 Rnd6 Logan Fano
Value said wait; Logan Fano in pick 210 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick247 Rnd7 De'Zhaun Stribling
De'Zhaun Stribling in the 247th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
