Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in the 95th overall pick: the Patriots steal Coleman and grade out a B.

The real work happened on the phones. The Patriots fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The Coleman steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The cost of the Barrett reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick54 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
They paid sticker price for Gennings Dunker in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jonah Coleman
You do not let a running back like Jonah Coleman reach Round 3, Pick 31 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick125 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
Eli Raridon at pick 125 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick131 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge is a better player than the 131st pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick169 Rnd5 Treydan Stukes
Treydan Stukes in No. 169 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick189 Rnd6 Oscar Delp
They took Oscar Delp at par in pick No. 189, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick200 Rnd6 Justin Jefferson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Justin Jefferson. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick207 Rnd6 Dane Key
Dane Key in No. 207 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jimmy Rolder
The board had cheaper options than Jimmy Rolder at slot 210, and it noticed. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick247 Rnd7 Nick Barrett
They liked Nick Barrett enough to skip the value, taking him in the 247th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
