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

The Patriots torched the value chart for James Williams Sr., taking him 50 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. That is a tight end worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Caleb Banks
In the 28th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Nyck Harbor
No edge and no loss on Nyck Harbor in slot 60; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Eli Stowers in Round 3, Pick 28. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick123 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds slid further than he should have, and the Round 4 slot is lovely value for the cornerback. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick128 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
A real head-scratcher, Ar'maj Reed-Adams in pick No. 128 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
They went early on Aamil Wagner in pick 168, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick195 Rnd6 Evan Stewart
They took Evan Stewart at par in the 195th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick206 Rnd6 Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson at No. 206 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick216 Rnd7 Roderick Kearney
Roderick Kearney at the 216th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick242 Rnd7 James Williams Sr.
James Williams Sr. in Round 7, Pick 28 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
