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

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Patriots took Trey Moore at the 130th overall pick, roughly 72 spots before his name belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Love. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the 30th pick they get an every-down engine for the run game at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Nyck Harbor
Nyck Harbor at the 62nd overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick94 Rnd3 Joe Royer
They let Joe Royer come to them and pounced at Round 3, Pick 30. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick118 Rnd4 Charles Jagusah
They took Charles Jagusah at par in pick No. 118, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick130 Rnd4 Trey Moore
They talked themselves into Trey Moore at slot 130, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick170 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at pick 170 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick195 Rnd6 Taylen Green
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Taylen Green at pick No. 195 is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick209 Rnd6 Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson at pick 209 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick215 Rnd7 James Smith
Value said wait; James Smith in slot 215 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Elliot Washington II
They reached a country mile for Elliot Washington II at the 244th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
