Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueD+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Patriots: B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Patriots shredded theirs for Eric Gentry. He came off 112 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Payne falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Max Iheanachor
In pick 28 they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick54 Rnd2 Dani Dennis-Sutton
A wild overpay on Dani Dennis-Sutton in No. 54, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick85 Rnd3 Bryce Lance
A premium they did not need to pay, Bryce Lance a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp in pick No. 131 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick198 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock at slot 198 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick212 Rnd6 VJ Payne
VJ Payne slipping to the 212th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick234 Rnd7 Dasan McCullough
Dasan McCullough in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick235 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
They paid a round early for Eli Heidenreich in the 235th overall pick, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick243 Rnd7 Adam Randall
Adam Randall at slot 243 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick244 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Eric Gentry well ahead of where he belonged. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick247 Rnd7 Enrique Cruz Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Enrique Cruz Jr. in Round 7, Pick 31 is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
